The sound here is comparable to other Hi-Fi recordings - vastly preferable to the 78's, even if the arrangements are sweeter and less funky than the originals. Some Critics at the time of original release really slammed Ellington for trying to "improve" on his past, but looking at his entire career, you see his was constantly re-arranging and re-recording his standards. This compilation on the Curb label is a better price than Capitol's own "Best Of" collection.
