Nutcracker Suite (jazz ensemble) Piotr Ilich Tchaikowsky (Pyotr Peter Ilyich Iljitsch Tschaikovsky) / Arr. Duke Ellington

Serie: JAZZ LEGENDS

This new edition of Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite, arranged in 1960 by Billy Strayhorn and Duke Ellington, was assembled from the original manuscripts held in the Strayhorn Repository and the Ellington Collection of the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American History. For purposes of accuracy, the manuscripts were cross-checked carefully with the original Duke Ellington Orchestra recording (Columbia CS 8341). Edited by Jeff Lindberg.
