Mark Masters Ensemble: Ellington Saxophone Encounters
by Dan Bilawsky
Countless albums have been made with the sole intention of honoring the great Duke Ellington by highlighting his personality, piano skills and pile of hits, but they don't tell the whole story; part of his legacy rests with the men who brought his music to life.
