A Portrait of Duke Ellington

[ Verve / CD ]

Release Date: Tuesday 17 January 1984

"And on A Portrait of Duke Ellington, that depth and skill, stimulated by a change in the stale Gillespie repertoire and complemented by rich, radically imaginative arrangements by, I am told, Clare Fischer, result in a really classic album. Fischer, a young conservatory graduate, is a new name to be reckoned with." Washington Post
