Ride the A-Train

"For the 1941 A-Train cut alone (also featuring Billy Strahorn), this CD is well worth the great price. But there are also 1928 and 1929 cuts (Creole Love Call and Liza, respectively), as well as several more from the early 1940s and a 1952 cut of Lullaby of Birdland. We have only the first of this five-volume box set, but boy is it great."

"MUST You have this album? No. Would you enjoy it if you tried it? Absolutely! Many of our favorite Duke sidemen are included and you'll dig much more than Duke's standards. I'm not into the technical side of why Duke's music sounds the way it does. I listen to relax, groove, wonder at the genius, ability and creativity. It's all about entertainment and you will be entertained by this album."
