To coincide with the centennial celebration of the great Duke Ellington, the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra (under the direction of Wynton Marsalis) returns with a new album of all Ellington compositions, featuring performances by Cyrus Chestnut, Dianne Reeves and Illinois Jacquet. This "live" album was recorded as a companion to a PBS documentary on Ellington (to air May '99), and kicks off the Orchestra's world tour and the release of Jump for Joy, a literary homage to Duke Ellington.
