"I was hankering for my old Apt/Holman preamp that had a L-R knob on it, but boy, do those solos come right out and grab you, whatever channel they might be on! The sonics are strong and distinct, right in your lap, with better fidelity than any Ellington CDs, SACDs or standard LP pressings." - John Henry,audaud.com, 5 Stars!! 

Although the slow blues title track was cut in 1958 with a 15-piece orchestra, the majority of the material found herein was recorded the following year with slightly smaller configurations. Melding the feel of a formal studio date with a loose late-night jam session, the light and nuanced Blues In Orbit finds the Duke  with the likes of Ray Nance, Clark Terry andJohnny Hodges among others, on an 11-song set that includes a few numbers by Billy Strayhorn, established classics from the Ellington songbook as well as more recent compositions and a few rarities for good measure.
