A selective primer from various decades throughout the Duke Ellington orchestra's existence, GREATEST HITS collects a fairly unassailable list of Ellington classics, from his early "Black and Tan Fantasy" to the smoothly swinging "Things Ain't What They Used to Be." A useful miscellany of random transcendent moments from one of the 20th century's greatest composers.
