Recorded in ’59, late night studio jam session. Just returned from a successful European tour, this album became a lighter Jazz recording than Ellington initially thought. Most of this recorded session is improvised due to the co-writer not showing up. With a light flair, distinguished sweepy jazz and never over the top: a MUST listen.
