Duke Ellington - Saga Jazz: Duke's Singing Ladies (2003)

It’s well known that Duke liked women. It’s not so well known that he appreciated good lady-singers, and invented some shimmering settings to put them to advantage. From Ivie Anderson, the most loyal, to passing stars (Ethel Waters, Billie Holiday…) here are twenty-one voices sometimes used as the most beautiful instrument in the whole orchestra.
