Duke Ellington - Unknown Session.nfo
The musical legacy Duke Ellington left us includes a considerable number of previously unreleased studio session like those in this album. Some were frankly experimental, made so that he could *hear* what he had written. Others were partly a matter of getting some return from musicians on a regular salary during a lay-off, and partly a matter of playing in a relaxed context where unusual roles could be assigned them.
In this case, the intention seems to have been to fashion a quiet, melodic album of "mood" music on relatively familiar themes, an album which would appeal to the same large audience that had enjoyed "Ellington Indigos", but using this time a septet instead of the full band.
