At the Hollywood Empire: Original 1949 Transcriptions

At the Hollywood Empire: Original 1949 Transcriptions by Duke Ellington and His Orchestra is a compilation album of radio transcriptions recorded in 1949. The music is jazz big band work that has rich orchestral colour and emphasises interplay between soloists and sections, and the recordings come from the post-war phase of Ellington's career when he led an active touring band and expanded his concert and radio repertoire.
