Copenhagen 1958 (bonus: After Hours 1950)

Album by Duke Ellington

Copenhagen 1958 (bonus: After Hours 1950) is a live album by American jazz pianist and bandleader Duke Ellington, recorded in Copenhagen in 1958 with a bonus session drawn from 1950. It is rooted in big band jazz and swing with arranged ensemble passages and solo space, and the 1950 bonus material provides contrast with an earlier small-group sound that shows how Ellington's approach to arrangement and bandleading changed across the decade.
