The Single Petal of a Rose

Absolutely lovely.

Supposedly the Queen's Suite was written and recorded as a private pressing, just for the Queen of England's ears only. I'm glad a copy got out, because it's fucking great.

Duke Ellington, in a trio setting with Max Roach and Charles Mingus. That's really all you ought to need to know. Exceedingly fine.
