Duke Ellington question...

I have a good friend who is legally blind and he asked me to help him find a Duke Ellington album with the tune of "Harlem Nocturne".
Do any of my fellow A'Goners know which album might have this track.
Thanks for your help.

What he is thinking of is a minor key tune that was recorded by many people,but grew to some fame as the theme song of Johnny Otis. This info is from the Tom Lord Jazz discography,the final word and definitive study of Jazz recordings.
