In this diverse and exciting collection from Arkadia´s recording artists, a talented and multifaceted assemblage of musicians -each in his own style and manner- pays tribute to Duke Ellington, playing tunes Duke wrote or made famous. Ellington´s influence is something for which we will remain in debt for many years to come. As such, we feel very strongly that it is important to say...Thank you, Duke !
