  • Description

    Never before released! Duke Ellington and his Orchestra toured Europe in November 1969, a time when Duke was still at the top of his powers. This is the whole of an excellent concert recorded in De Doelen concert hall in Rotterdam a venue famous for its splendid acoustics. The ambience is remarkable on this live recording and the audience is audibly enthusiastic.

    Among the soloists are Johnny Hodges, Cootie Williams, Lawrence Brown, Harry Carney and Paul Gonsalves.
