BONUS TRACKS

Digitally remastered and expanded edition of this album from the Jazz icon. Contains the complete original album at the Bal Masque on which Duke Ellington departs from his usual repertoire to play a set of choice standards, most of which he had never recorded before and would never record again. Presented on the original LP as a live recording with applause between tracks, this music was in fact recorded in the studio during various sessions. As a bonus to this album, we have added a rarely heard 1960 Ellington session in it's entirety. Equally uncommon, it was recorded in a small group format and also presents an unusual program, this time revisiting mostly forgotten tunes from the Duke's repertoire from the 1920s through the 1940s. Essential Jazz Classics.
