Thanks for letting me know, William! For those of you interested in checking out the Ellington, _Three Suites_ is available via <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Three-Suites/dp/B00138HA74/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=dmusic&qid=1229362312&sr=8-1" rel="nofollow">Amazon MP3 Download</a> for $8.99.

Sounds great, I wish I were there! With the Dudley House Big Band, we played last week Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn's wonderful arrangement of Grieg's "Anitra's Dance". It was originally published on the same album as Tchaikovsky: "Three Suites". Thanks for the jazz news Zoë! Sounds great, I wish I were there!
