Maurice PeressAbout
Starting in 1943, Ellington prepared the first of several annual Carnegie Hall concerts with his own orchestra. For each of these he composed at least one extended work, symphonic in proportion and intention, if not in instrumentation. This recording includes two of these in their symphonic form Black, Brown & Beige and the piano concerto New World a-Comin' as well as two symphonic works not originally written for his jazz band Harlem, commissioned by the NBC Symphony in 1950, and Les trois rois noirs (Three black kings), commissioned by the Dance Theatre of Harlem.
