Notes:

Pressed by Columbia Records Pressing Plant, Santa Maria, identified by the etched S in the deadwax. There were three Columbia pressing factories in 1977. Recorded in concert at Carnegie Hall, New York City, on January 4, 1946 Issued by arrangement with Mercer Records and Mercer Ellington. Reprocessed, from original source material, by Jerry Valburn and Jack Towers. Mastered, 1977, by David Turner (Fantasy Studios, Berkeley) This release is a stereo lacquer cutting of recorded mono masters. Released in a double album gatefold jacket. (NOTE: The total length of this concert has made it impossible to include in this two-record set every selection performed on this occasion. The omissions were necessarily arbitrarily decided on, and there was no simple system used. My tendency was to do without vocal and pop-song numbers and some very-frequently recorded Ellington standards, and to retain pieces rarely or never to be heard elsewhere - even if the performance was less than perfect. - Orrin Keepnews)
