*** 1946 Jazz 78 by one of it's greatest composers ***

from an AllMusic Review by
Duke Ellington never really had a "Musicraft period" -- his active relationship with the label lasted barely two months, 
but the quality and range of what he cut in those two months is amazing. Ellington's contract with RCA Victor ended during
the summer of 1946, and rather than sign with one of the majors, he was persuaded to record for Musicraft, a small independent label,
where he was offered the freedom to cut some of his conceptual, experimental works, which RCA Victor had been slow to accept.
He only recorded for the label from October through December of that year, when the company's shaky financing brought Ellington's
Musicraft work to a halt. Those two months, however, revealed more of Ellington's aspirations as a composer and bandleader than
much of his earlier output for RCA.
