Recorded in NYC between 1969 and 1971, with a variety of players. Includes “Moon Maiden” with just Ellington singing and accompanying himself on Celeste, and also some great renditions of “I Got It Bad (And That Ain’t Good)” and “Sophisticated Lady” but also some less well known songs.
Pablo Records was Norman Granz’s label created in the 70s, long after having sold Verve to MGM. The label rim text here says manufactured by Pablo – some versions say manufactured by RCA, who was distributing Pablo at this point.
