Duke Ellington and His Orchestra - Midnight In Paris (1962/2015) [DSD128 + DXD 24/352]

"Midnight in Paris" is an album by American pianist, composer and bandleader Duke Ellington recorded in 1962 for the Columbia label. The album features performances of compositions inspired by or associated with Paris. Only three of the 13 numbers were written by Ellington or Strayhorn (including a remake of "Paris Blues" and "Guitar Amour") and the music sticks pretty much to melodic ballads like "I Wish You Love" and "Comme Ci, Comme Ca".
