Recording information: Virgin Islands (04/14/1965).

Although in his mid-60s, Duke Ellington proves on this program of mostly new music that he never declined nor lost his creativity. Four of the pieces comprise "The Virgin Islands Suite," and there are new versions of "Things Ain't What They Used to Be" and "Chelsea Bridge," and also a variety of miniature classics. In 1965 the Ellington orchestra had 11 very distinctive soloists; eight are heard from during this memorable set. ~ Scott Yanow

Music made in paradise Music Lover: Felix Gerenabarrena from Basque Country -- January, 26, 2008

The music on this CD is simply wonderful. Despite the title, it is not a live recording, but studio takes of Duke's imaginary music of the Virgin Islands. It is a feel good music and unlike his Afro-bossa CD, only part of the songs are originals, the rest are previously recorded tracks. The recording quality is top-notch, probably the best I have heard of music from this period. sounds as if it were recorded yesterday.
