Duke Ellington is the first name I fully recognised as I started this list. It sort of makes sense, a lot of his best work is from the 1930’s and 40’s but he kept on putting out albums until his death in 1974! Not one re-issue? You’ll also see ‘West Of Zanzibar’ on the list. The first of weirdly many African inspired one hit wonders.
