Few figures in jazz history were as fearless - or as enduring - as Duke Ellington. By 1959, Ellington was over three decades into his career, yet still evolving, still experimenting. Jazz Party in Stereo is a perfect example of that restless creativity. It’s an album that’s big, bold, and a little bizarre - in all the best ways.
