Duke Ellington And His Orchestra: The Nutcracker Suite versie op vinyl LP in standaard editie. Deze specifieke uitgave werd uitgebracht in Verenigd Koninkrijk bij uitgeverij Columbia op 9. juni 2009.

Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn arranged their own virtuoso adaptation of Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky's ballet "The Nutcracker" for the Duke Ellington Orchestra in 1960. With nine cleverly arranged movements and equally clever titles like "Toot Tootie Toot" and "Sugar Rum Cherry," this LP is the quintessential Ellington blend of wit and sophistication. It's almost unbelievable how sweeping and sexy the Nutcracker Suite can sound!

Album valt binnen het genre Big Band, Swing, Een kerstklassieker en Christmas Music. 180g Vinyl.
