This 13 disc box set compiles 260 tracks covering three decades of his Duke Ellingtons recording career. Although recodring dates range from 1927 to 1948, the main focus here is clearly on Ellington's 40's output.

Considering that this box set was sourced from 78s, sound quality is overall very nice. Luckily clean copies were used for tranfers. There's not really clicks or pops. Apart from some surface noise, there's really very little room for complaint. However mastering of this box set may divide opinions. It's clear that these tracks are needle drops. There is no doubt that the sound could be more crisp or detailed. I'm sure that there's more hi-fi sounding alternatives available of most of these recordings. Fortunately this box set wasn't botched with bad noise reduction, excessive compression or otherwise bad mastering. This box set is definitely a worthwhile alternative.

Packaging is ok. Each CD is packed in 8 panel digipack with liner notes (French & English), track listing, recording details and personnel details. Accuracy of personnel details varies greatly. Sometimes every musician is listed while other times only soloists are mentioned.

I find presentation of this box set mildly annoying. The material on compilation is divided thematically on different discs. Each of the discs is supposed to follow some kind of theme (e.g. ballads, blues, jungle etc.). In reality these themes are rather loose. Most of these song would have fit under various of these themes, so the discs aren't vastly different. This box set could have benefitted greatly from a different kind of presentation (e.g. chronological order).
