The album is a recording of a revised version of Ellington's Black, Brown and Beige suite.[5] After a disappointing critical response to its first performance in 1943, Ellington divided the three-part suite into six shorter sections, leaving in "Come Sunday" and "Work Song", and it is this version that is recorded here.
