Duke Ellington and His Orchestra The Nutcracker Suite on 180g Import LP

Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn arranged their own unique, virtuoso adaptation of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s ballet The Nutcracker for the Duke Ellington Orchestra in 1960. With nine cleverly arranged movements and equally clever titles such as “Toot Toot Tootie Toot” or “Sugar Rum Cherry,” this LP is the quintessence of Ellington’s blend of wit and sophistication. It’s hard to believe how swinging and sexy The Nutcracker Suite can sound!
