"Yale Concert
Nielsen's "Jazz Records, 1942-1980 Volume 6--Duke Ellington." tells us that Ellington's Yale Concert was on January 26, 1968 at Woolsey Hall. Only "Boola Boola" from that concert was released on this cd. In February 1968 Ellington and his band went into the Fantasy Studios in New York city and rerecorded the other songs on this cd. Ellington's introductions and the audience reactions are from the Yale concert, but the music is from the studio. That's not a knock on the music. The music is first rate."
