Review

Duke Steps Out -- "Duke Ellington in the '20s" is a single-disc, 24-track overview of his earliest recordings with Decca during the Cotton Club era. Several Ellington standards are introduced including "Creole Love Call," "Black and Tan Fantasy," "East St. Louis Toodle-Oo" and "The Mooche," along with the first glimpse of crucial Ellington orchestra members Johnny Hodges, Tricky Sam Nanton, Barney Bigard, Cootie Williams Harry Carney and Otto Hardwick. This collection serves as an enjoyable career overview alongside Living Era's companion set In the Forties. ~ Al Campbell, All Music Guide
