Duke Ellington
Indigos
Indigos, hidden jewel of Duke Ellington's discography released in 1958.
Ellington chose a series of easy-to-listen ballads. Despite the record company 's request for a rhythmic album that could be danced, Duke recorded arrangements that were out of time or simply too slow to dance, placing less emphasis on the rhythmic swing that the group was appreciated for.
