Description
The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 4 stars and stated “This rare trio session by Duke Ellington was the first of several in the early ’60s that featured his piano in a variety of settings. It is particularly interesting hearing Ellington, along with three standards and a blues, performing some of his rarer compositions… One wishes that today’s revivalists when playing “the Duke Ellington Songbook” would bring back some of his true obscurities such as the ones on this somewhat forgotten session”.
