That is a wonderful album, it sold more than a quarter million copies and Paul Gonsalves performance saved Ellington, life would never be the same again after that glorious concert.Bannjo wrote:Discovered this after watching American Hustle. 'Jeep's Blues' is brilliant but Paul Gonsalves tenor playing on 'Diminuendo In Blue And Crescendo In Blue' just takes you to another place. Have to check it out on vinyl!

Listen to this a fair bit seems it was recorded about a year before he died. Some of the tracks are really good.
