The three Ellington Suites in this were recorded at different times along Ellington's legendary and prolific arc 'The Queen's Suite' in February and April 1959 (written for and dedicated to Queen Elizabeth II, but not widely released until 1970); 'The Goutelas Suite' in April 1971; and 'The Uwis Suite' in October 1972.'Ellington would record his orchestra at his own expense, and then stockpile the recordings,' says Nick Phillips, Vice President, Catalog and Jazz A&R at Concord and producer of the Original Jazz Classics Remasters series. 'These were recordings that were later sold to Norman Granz, who had the good sense in the '70s to collect these then-unreleased suites on one album.'Mastered by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab from the original analog master tape.
