I bought the set at a local record shop...had to return it. Disc 5,6 and 7 were scratched to hell. Only set they had and they weren’t sure when they might get more. I’m trying amazon now.

I just got this one and I can give it a hearty :tup!  The disc/program opens with a 9 minute Duke Ellington solo piano version of "New World A-Comin'"!  I was completely satisfied with my purchase after that one track -- money well spent!  The program is sort of a modified Sacred Concert, with "In The Beginning God" as its centerpiece, but then there is the inclusion of the always fascinating "La Plus Belle Africaine" as an encore.  To top it all off, "Come Easter" was a new number written for this concert, played here and then never again, so if you absolutely HAVE to hear everything Ellington ever wrote, here's one more for ya (psssst - - it's not that memorable).  Good solo spots throughout the concert for Gonsalves, Hodges, Carney, Brown and others and the sound is perfectly fine for a vintage live recording.  I found this music "inspiring" and believe me brother, given all that 2020 has thrown at us, that was a rare and welcome treat indeed.
