Duke Ellington: Duke Ellington's Far East Suite version on CD in Remastered edition. This particular edition was published in Europe in publishing company Sony Music in cooperation with RCA Victor, Legacy and Jazz Connoisseur (2) on 22. July 2016.

"Far East Suite" is Ellington's last completed collaboration with his musical partner and alter ego Billy Strayhorn, who died five months after recording. "Isfahan," for example, is a quintessential Strayhorn ballad in the tradition of the elusive "Chelsea Bridge," which Johnny Hodges' alto sax takes to the next level up, where the air is pretty thin: into the heaven of immortal jazz interpretations. Notwithstanding these stellar moments of improvised music, however, the entire nine-movement work (four movements of which are included in alternate versions) is one of the most beautiful and accomplished of the many suites of Ellington's late years." (Rondo)

Album spans genres Jazz and Big Band.
