The Blanton-Webster Band

~ Release by Duke Ellington & His Orchestra (see all versions of this release, 2 available)

Annotation

This is the second incarnation of the Blanton-Webster sessions as a box set, after the disastrous first box set.
Completists will still prefer the latest Never No Lament edition, as it adds a handful of alternate take to this.
