New Orleans Suite is the 1971 album by Duke Ellington. Released on Atlantic, it was the last album to feature Johnny Hodges, who died within the recording sessions for the album. This pressing doesn't have the reissue date but it's most likely sometime in the late 80's (between 1987 and 1989).
NEW ORLEANS SUITE runs in the vein of lengthy, orchestrally rich, dazzlingly complex pieces centered around a particular theme or concept, for which the Duke is so well known. A tribute to the musical legacy of the great city, NEW ORLEANS SUITE consists of five movements, each concentrating on a different facet in the personality of early jazz: the blues, the ragtime of street marching bands, and church music, for example. Ellington's formal musical elements are astonishing as always, combining the high-mindedness of classical composition and arrangement with the swing and immediacy of the jazz idiom. Interspersed between the suite's movements are "portraits" of influential players such as Louis Armstrong and Sidney Bechet. Superior ensemble playing heightens enjoyment of the album, and the solos are memorable, such as Paul Gonsalves' playing on "Portrait of Sidney Bechet" and the solo by Johnny Hodges (one of his last before his death) on "Blues for New Orleans." A beautiful and moving work, NEW ORLEANS SUITE is, on one hand, an acknowledgement of the inestimable importance of that cradle of jazz and, on the other, a piece that could only have been performed by the Duke himself

This late-period Duke Ellington album is perhaps most notable for including altoist Johnny Hodges' final recordings. In fact Hodges was supposed to record his first soprano solo in nearly 30 years on "Portrait of Sidney Bechet" but he passed away before the second session. The set consists of the five-song "New Orleans Suite" plus tributes to Wellman Braud, Bechet (tenor saxophonist Paul Gonsalves took Hodges' place as its soloist), Louis Armstrong (a feature for trumpeter Cootie Williams) and Mahalia Jackson. Interesting if not essential music with a few memorable themes being the main reason to acquire this release.
