12 Bonus Track
The complete original album 'At the Bal Masque' (originally on Columbia), on which Duke Ellington departs from his usual repertoire (with the sole exception of "Satin Doll") to play a set of choice standards, most of which he had never recorded before and would never record again.

Presented on the original LP as a live recording with applause between tracks, this music was in fact recorded in the studio during various sessions, following an engagement at the Bal Masque club in Miami's Americana Hotel.

Added to this album, as a bonus, is a rarely heard 1960 Ellington session in its entirety. Equally uncommon, it was recorded in a small group format and also presents an unusual program, this time revisiting mostly forgotten tunes from the Duke's repertoire from the 1920s through the 1940s.
