1920s

During the late 1920s and early 1930s, Ellington and his band recorded for almost every label (BluDisc, Pathe, Perfect, Victor, Brunswick, Columbia, Okeh, Vocalion, Cameo, Romeo, Lincoln, Banner, Domino, Jewel, and Hit Of The Week). Some labels, such as RCA-Victor, Okeh and Brunswick, have collected Ellington's early recordings into box sets, while material from other labels is scattered. The most comprehensive source for Ellington's early work are the Classics releases, although note that these records omit alternate takes, which may be found in other collections.
