It's excellent, for the very reason you say - many seldom played Ellington pieces with interesting arrangements. Very, very good band, and Jack Walrath is excellent. So too is drummer Jeff Brillinger. I don't know his playing (other than with Woody Herman) but he is perfect for the date, always tasteful and swinging.  

Good deal.  I'm gonna check that one out.  Thanks.  :tup

I think I've only heard Jeff Brillinger on one record, but it's a doozy: Chet Baker's Broken Wing.

I took my daughter with me. She was then 10 and is now 40. Might she end up the last person to have seen Dizzy live? (Poor old Diz departed this world the following year.)

I recently took a look at the London concert which is all on YouTube. I couldn't see them that well from my seat in the stalls in Manchester!

Stars of the show for me were Roditi and Sandoval whom I saw close up in nearby Wigan in those years. Sensational trumpeters!

Yes sir!  Roditi and Sandoval are top-shelf trumpeters/musicians.  No doubt!

He plays brilliantly on Broken Wing from Chet Baker. And I think also his Live at Nick's.

Surprisingly vivid sound and  Woody Shaw is really "on." LONG performances.
