With Richie Kamuca, Victor Feldman, Ben Tucker and Stan Levey. All 8 tunes were arranged by Bill Holman.

 

Thanks for posting this-I don't know this one at all but really like the band members, the label,  and Mr. Holman-so I had to get it.

I am on a Duke/Strayhorn kick, expanding my collection and revisiting albums I haven't listened to in years.  My library's streaming service also has albums from Pablo, Capitol, Reprise, etc.  I got it good and that ain't bad.

When it bites, the Ellington bug bites HARD.

Some marvelous playing by a lengthy list of excellent musicians. Leading the way is Coleman Hawkins.

I feel another Ellington/Strayhorn binge on the horizon. 

Duke Ellington "The Afro-Eurasian Eclipse"

This is an album I have seen a few times in used record stores, but never in a decent enough condition to buy.  It's cool to finally give it a listen.  Sammy Nestico's charts  all awing nicely
