This revised work also lists a vast amount of new material including the so-called "stockpile recordings" released since the previous edition. Ellingtonia contains an easy to use guide for readers; a list of orchestras; keys for personnel, labels and abbreviations, indexes, and an attendance chart. Essential for jazz researchers, scholars, and collectors.</p>
