1995 live album by Duke Ellington
Live at the Whitney is a live album by the American pianist, composer and bandleader Duke Ellington , recorded at the Whitney Museum of American Art in 1972 and released on the Impulse! label in 1995.[ 1]
The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated: "Although Duke apparently planned very little in advance, his program is a well-rounded set of old standards and newer (and more obscure) works. A week short of his 73rd birthday, Ellington's fingers sound a little rusty in spots, but he clearly gets stronger as the concert progresses".[ 2]
