The Best of the Complete RCA Victor Mid-Forties Recordings 1 contains both revisions of earlier classics such as "Solitude" and "Caravan" and then-new songs such as "I'm Beginning to See the Light", one of Ellington's most popular songs and a hit for Harry James as well. Also included is "Things Ain't What They Used to Be" by Duke's son Mercer. The reverent "Come Sunday", one of Duke's most beautiful melodies, appears in its first recorded form, while "Tonk" is a spirited piano duet with Billy Strayhorn, his composition partner. Throughout, the band is simply magnificent, with veterans like Johnny Hodges and Lawrence Brown and newcomers Cat Anderson and tenor saxophonist Al Sears among the soloists lending their distinctive voices to Ellington's extraordinary musical conception. --Stuart Broomer
