Ellington is the artist, if it sounded good to him, I want to hear exactly what he heard. Since I couldn't be there myself I have to rely on a reproduction, but I still want to hear it exactly the same way that he heard it - uncolored, undistorted and if the recording was lousy, I want to hear that too. Listen to the early Billie Holiday stuff if you want to hear some really bad recordings (recordings I said NOT performances) - I want to hear them that way thank you.
