Call him the Duke of Denmark as this is the second superb Ellington performance recorded in that country to be released in 2003 alone Its also an appropriate followup to The Intimate Duke Ellington whereas the latter showcases Ellington as a solo pianist and in small group settings Live at the Tivoli Gardens features the Ellington Orchestra in all its splendor It includes two approximately 70minute sets recorded a few days apart in 1971 when the Duke was 72
