Description
First pressing with dark green, deep-groove Columbia Masterworks labels.
"Masterpieces by Ellington is the first LP album by American pianist, composer, and bandleader Duke Ellington, recorded for the Columbia label in 1950. It was one of the earliest 12-inch LPs to take advantage of the extended time available and consisted of four tracks, three of them "concert arrangements" of Ellington standards and one, "The Tattooed Bride," a recent tone poem." - Wikipedia.
Jazz critic Gary Giddins called the album "One of the first genuinely innovative 12-inch LPs."
