Reviewed by Callum Ashworth, 247 Album Verdict

The electrifying live comeback that revived Ellington's career. Thrilling and historic. One of the great live jazz records. A single-entry catalogue presence, but the entry is strong.

On vinyl: Pre-'60s originals are collector's items — a well-mastered reissue is usually the better buy.
