The Afro-Eurasian Eclipse

Album by Duke Ellington and His Orchestra

The Afro-Eurasian Eclipse is a studio album by Duke Ellington and His Orchestra, released in 1971. The music blends big-band jazz with elements drawn from African and Eurasian musical traditions and employs extended forms and modal harmonies to explore non-Western rhythms and timbres, and it appeared late in Ellington's career during a phase when he wrote thematic suites influenced by global music.
