Ellington '66 is an album by American pianist, composer, and bandleader Duke Ellington, recorded and released on the Reprise label in 1965.[1] The album won a Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Jazz Performance – Large Group or Soloist with Large Group.[2]
The AllMusic review by Matt Collar stated: "Ellington '66 is yet another example of how the change in popular music toward an all rock & roll format found jazz musicians attempting crossover material with varying degrees of success... While Ellington '66 isn't a bad recording and actually bests '65 for sheer listening pleasure, it is by no means required listening and will most likely appeal to die-hard Ellington completists."[3]
