RARE/2HAND VINYL LP ON REPRISE 1965.

Reprise RS 6185 made in USA with original inner sleeve. Vinyl NM. Cover VG++.

Although in his mid-60s, Duke Ellington proves on this program of mostly new music that he never declined nor lost his creativity. Four of the pieces comprise "The Virgin Islands Suite," and there are new versions of "Things Ain't What They Used to Be" and "Chelsea Bridge," and also a variety of miniature classics. In 1965 the Ellington orchestra had 11 very distinctive soloists; eight are heard from during this memorable set.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duke_Ellington
