Arranged By Duke Ellington And Billy Strayhorn, Prepared By Rob Duboff And Jeffrey Sultanof

Rock - Medium

This arrangement was written by Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn and was originally titled 3-D. While on tour in Europe during that year Ellington introduced several pieces as Impressions of the Far East. At that time the Suite consisted of Amad, Agra, Bluebird of Delhi, and Depk. Agra and Bluebird of Delhi were written by Strayhorn and Amad and Depk were written by Ellington. As the notion for a full-length suite began to take shape several more pieces were composed: Ad Lib on Nippon and A Tourist Point of View, both composed by Ellington, and Mount Harissa and Blue Pepper, possibly composed by both Ellington and Strayhorn (scores have not been located for these two movements; hence, authorship is in question). Isfahan was recorded on December 20, 1966 to be included in the Far East Suite. This arrangement features alto saxophone and trumpet solos. There are no saxophone doubles.
