First rate 'double' CD from 2 Duke LPs of the early 1960s.

Just out the samples - all good.

Commercial? Sure, but terrific. So was his "Mary Poppins" LP from the era and it was superb.

DE plays many big band classics.

CD goes for as little as 7 bucks!

Love this album! I play tracks from it all the time, most notably "For Dancers Only", "Tuxedo Junction" and "Christopher Columbus". My biggest complaint is that the long killer version of "One O'Clock Jump" fades out at the end (if I remember correctly).
