Reception

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 3 stars and stated, "Although Duke apparently planned very little in advance, his program is a well-rounded set of old standards and newer (and more obscure) works. A week short of his 73rd birthday, Ellington's fingers sound a little rusty in spots, but he clearly gets stronger as the concert progresses".[2]

Personnel
gollark: Oh, is the argument that you can just somehow scale power demand to match convenient supply somehow?
gollark: Would you mind actually summarizing it instead of posting a 41-minute video?
gollark: Hmm, according to a random article I found from 2009 there is enough uranium for 230 years of current consumption rates.
gollark: What's the benefit of having them disconnected at all then?
gollark: How do you adjust renewables? Aren't their output levels mostly determined by how much sun happens to be conveniently shining or whatever?
