A newly discovered recording, Ellington – Uppsala 9-11-71 is taken from a concert in Uppsala, Sweden on Nov. 9th 1971. The centerpiece of the concert was the band’s performance of "Harlem". To end the evening properly, Ellington chose to finish the concert alone at the piano, just accompanied by Joe Benjamin on the bass, playing his own arrangement of Billy Strayhorn’s lovely tune Lotus Blossom.
