Finally, I found a copy at an affordable price! There is one track on it that was previously unissued.

Let Em Roll. I guess you could say I'm a JP fan. Interesting setting for Hutch:

Some very enjoyable Ellington here.  These recordings are from 1971, a period I think of -- due to the presence of Wild Bill Davis -- as Ellington's Electric Era.  The title suite contains many beautiful moments, although i think in the hands of a lesser group of musicians it might come across as mere exotica.  There is also a nice version of "Checkered Hat", Norris Turney's tribute to Johnny Hodges, an Ellington version of "Lover Man" and a softly swinging version of "Perdido" featuring Money Johnson.  This music is well worth seeking out.

The Hawks won!  

Now, back to music:

Poncho Sanchez - El Conguero (Concord Picante, 1985)

Jorja Smith - Be Right Back

First listen. New-to-me:

Chick was amazing up 'til the end.  You'd never know that he was approaching 80 (!) when this recording was made.
