== Notes == During the 20s Brunswick years (4000 serie), Ellington's orchestra was aliased [http://musicbrainz.org/artist/6ad6f1be-6967-406a-ada1-19b1d076a7bd.html|The Jungle Band] for a [http://www.redhotjazz.com/jungle.html|handful of cuts]. Later on, Brunswick reissued these in the 6000 serie under ''Duke Ellington & his Orchestra''. Though, they incorrectly attributed Brunswick 4450 to Ellington (reissued as Brunswick 6808 - ''Dog Bottom / Jungle Mama'') - while it's indeed from [http://musicbrainz.org/artist/8411e79d-deba-4753-8cd3-b1d23a264050.html|another Jungle Band], actually the first record of ''Chick Webb'' and his formation. This error persisted and is still present in some modern reissues. If you happen to find ''Dog Bottom'' and/or ''Jungle Mama'' in recent Ellington reissues, they are likely not from the Duke, but from the King of the Savoy.
