Negative Positive
Title: Terrible crackle and surface noise!
Review: This CD set is particularly disappointing. The music contained on these CD's is essential Ellington, however, the the surface noice (crackle, hiss, pops) is so horrible that this set is unlistenable.Hopefully this important music will be re-mastered and properly re-issued without all the noise. I simply cannot listen to it this way. For now, opt for the OKeh set, which is contains an equally important collection of Ellingtonia, and is nicely transferred to CD.
