Ellington Uptown

Album by Duke Ellington and His Orchestra

Ellington Uptown is a studio album by Duke Ellington and His Orchestra, released in 1952. It is built from large-scale orchestral jazz arrangements and blues-inflected big band writing, with extended pieces that expand Ellington's tonal palette and use the orchestra for colour and mood, and it was released as he moved toward longer-form composition in his career.
