Duke Ellington and His Orchestra
THE FAR EAST SUITE - SPECIAL MIX
Blue Bird 1966 / 1995
Notes: When Duke Ellington visited Baghdad, Isfahan and Beirut in 1963, they were part of a world we know more about today. The fact that a military coup was in progress and jets shooting up the presidential palace when he arrived in Baghdad indicates that even then things were not perhaps what they seemed to be. --- Stanley Dance
