    About this album

    Ellington Jazz Party is a vivid late-1950s Duke Ellington set that shows his orchestra balancing elegance, wit and hard-swinging ensemble fire. Issued in 1959, the album draws on the band’s deep roots in big band and swing while also highlighting Ellington’s knack for surprise, from blues-inflected moods to sharply arranged, modern-feeling textures. Built around the distinctive voices in his orchestra rather than star soloist gimmicks, it reflects a period when Ellington was still expanding the language of jazz orchestration. The result is a sophisticated, characterful album that reinforces his stature as one of the music’s greatest composers and bandleaders.
