Duke Ellington And His Orchestra – Duke Ellington’s Third Sacred Concert
Ellington called these concerts "the most important thing I have ever done". He said many times that he was not trying to compose a Mass. The critic Gary Giddins has characterized these concerts as Ellington bringing the Cotton Club revue to the church.
The Allmusic review by Richard S. Ginell awarded the album five stars and stated "the concert taps into Ellington's roots in showbiz and African-American culture as well as his evidently deep religious faith, throwing it all together in the spirit of universality and sealing everything with the stamps of his musical signatures".

Three Murals of John Coltrane.
The first one is currently Diamond Streets. The second was on the corner of 29th and Diamond Streets. The last was really the first, it was near 33rd and Diamond Streets. Wish we could have kept them all.
