We are also, so far as I’m aware, in for an audio representation of the Jazz 625 concert that Ellington gave for the BBC, though this is not mentioned in the booklet. A number of these TV programmes were shown again many years ago and then once again, more recently, this time mucked about with the original presenters excised and trendy new ‘talking heads’ parachuted in; as the originals were in black and white and the new presenters in colour it looked spectacularly foolish.

Other highlights include Ellington's solo piano version of his composition 'Little African Flower', as well as a moving reading by Johnny Hodges' of 'Isfahan' (from the Far East Suite) and the 'Banquet Theme', taken from Ellington's Shakespeare Suite, Timon of Athens. As a bonus, there is a rare four song Zurich clip filmed during Duke Ellington's 1959 European tour. Featured performances include 'Little African Flower', 'Satin Doll', 'Take The 'A' Train', 'Banquet' and more.

Among the numerous filmed performances by the Ellington band, this phenomenal London concert stands out for many reasons. The first one is that it contains the only complete performance of Duke's Harlem Suite on film. Written in 1950, this extended piece was first intended to be premiered by Arturo Toscanini conducting the NBC Symphony Orchestra. The premiere, however, was postponed indefinitely for various reasons and never actually took place
