The best album ever made by Duke Ellington—which is to say, one of the best albums in jazz—is also one of his least-known. It attracted scant attention upon its release, in , and no.

Ellington collectors may find that they own copies of a one or two of these songs. 'Black Beauty' appears on Essential Duke Ellington and Reminiscing in Tempo, and 'Something To Live For' and 'Creole Blues' can be found on The Duke: The Columbia Years (). I can recommend Essential Duke Ellington for sound quality. 'Black Beauty' has 5/5.

Very nice work from one of Ellington's revival periods – when he was signed to Columbia in the late 50s, and recording some of the best work of his career.
