This release contains the complete original 1959 classic album Festival Session, on which Duke Ellington introduces new long compositions for his orchestra that he had been preparing during the previous months. This is evidenced by the two extended live versions of “Copout Extension” and “Idiom ’59”. Two of the album’s best pieces, they were recorded at Newport two months before the studio session and are presented here as bonus tracks.

Includes 12-page booklet.

DOWN BEAT original review: FESTIVAL SESSION
“What a wonderfully powerful yet subtle instrument is the Ellington band. In this release, it kicks its way through part of the 1959 summer’s festival material. The moods range from thundering jubilation through pixyish humor and satire to quiet reflection. By all means, listen to this.” (Don De Michael)
