Blues in Orbit

Album by Duke Ellington

Blues in Orbit is a studio album by American composer and bandleader Duke Ellington, released in 1960. The album applies blues-based themes within Ellington's orchestral jazz approach, combining swinging rhythms, muted brass and textured arrangements that emphasise mood and solo space, and it represents a phase in Ellington's late-1950s/early-1960s output where he explored compact, concept-driven recording sessions.
