I've been listening to Duke Ellington Reprise Studio Sessions, mostly Afro-Bossa.

Disc one of that set remains a favorite of all my many mosaic sets. I don't think it has ever been released separately aside from the original issue but I may be wrong.

Isn't that basically Recollections of the Big Band Era/Will the Big Bands Ever Come Back?

I believe there was a CD issue of this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000002JJV?qid=1457311507&ref_=tmm_acd_swatch_0&sr=8-8

(along with some PD versions, but this was legit, I think).

There is also an Original Album Series of Reprise albums but it only includes Will the Big Bands Ever Come Back?
