Masterpieces by Ellington

Masterpieces by Ellington is one of those albums that definitely lives up to its title. Each track is a masterpiece and each track is by Ellington.

This original album was recorded in December 1950 as Ellington's first bash at the new LP format and he reworked and expanded some of his most famous repertoire numbers. The CD also has three bonus tracks from 1950-51.

It is really difficult to find anything to say about music as good as this and one is simply reduced to parroting what has already been said. So take a look at other people's reviews, listen in, and be glad that you can hear such wonderful music.


Maybe you would like to listen to to some of it right now? Good ain't it. You can buy it right here if you like. or you can download the whole album in mp3, or just one track at a time if you are inclined.

What happened to your Adventures of Whoremongering in the Dominican blog? Did your ex wife find it and show your friends and family? Too bad. I loved all the stories about the little girls you fucked for thirty dollars a night while your financially dependent Novia tolerated it. Good for you, dumping her when she complained, gold-digging cunt. But it was nice when you helped out that handicapped kid. You're a hero. If he was a girl you would have expected him suck your dick for the money you "donated." You're actually a hero to all the girls you gave money to in the Dominican, do you realize? Those little black child-women should be grateful to you! Did you ever meet Rush Limbaugh when you were there? So jealous of the fun times you have. When I get divorced and retire, I'm gonna become a sexpat alcoholic somewhere, maybe Philippines or someplace like that. You're an inspiration!

Thanks for your comment on my blog. I m afraid I cannot punish as identifying the alleged victim in a rape case is illegal. As I point out in the post, this is a lifelong restriction that applies even if the defendant is cleared. Thank you
