The 1966 Ellington band reprises material from all over the Ducal repertoire, and infuses pieces it had played from the 1920s onwards with just as much fire and commitment as ever, plus plenty of new twists, such as ‘A Train’ opening in 3/4 time, or giving ‘Concerto for Cootie’ to Lawrence Brown's trombone.
