Notes

Compilation of jazz sides made by Ellington sidemen as solo or side-projects.
Juan Tizol credited for Trombone on tracks 2-13 to 2-18, but that must be a typo, as he exclusively played Valve Trombone.

    For some reason I was swayed by the popular complaint regarding the transfers being noise reduced, and they are, but to a very small degree and not always. These are excellent editions.
