Carnegie Hall Concerts 1943-1947 collects together recordings of the famous concerts by Duke Ellington in New York City in the mid 1940s.
These concerts have been issued separately as well:
- Carnegie Hall, January 23, 1943
- Carnegie Hall, December 19, 1944
- Carnegie Hall, January 4, 1946
- Carnegie Hall, December 27, 1947
What it’s not is a comprehensive summary of Ellington in the 1940s as the 1940 Fargo album is essential and it also excludes the December 1943 Carnegie Hall concert.
