Duke Ellington: Live in Montréal (1964) (DVD)

On April 20, 1964, Le Jazz Hot Room at the Casa Loma Club in Montréal featured Duke Ellington and his Orchestra for a one-week engagement. Fortunately, Radio-Canada was there to record the opening night, and the kinescope of that telecast is now available on home video for the first time. It captures a great band at its peak.
