Duke Ellington Live at the Blue Note 1959

Live at the Blue Note is a live album by Duke Ellington.

Ellington and band performed live at the Blue Note club in Chicago with three sets (6pm, 10pm and Midnight) on August 9, 1959.

As bebop and hard bop had taken attention away from swing and more traditional jazz, Ellington’s popularity had faded until it was reinvigorated by his 1956 Newport performance. This builds on that and shows that he had plenty to offer.
