The Duke Ellington Orchestra which performed the eagerly-awaited Second Carnegie Hall Concert on Dec. 11, 1943, was a band which consisted both of famous old alumni and exciting new talent like clarinetest Jimmy Hamilton, bassist Alvin Raglin and vocalist Al Hibbler. Because of the recording ban during World War II, doing live concerts became vital to maintain both the band’s popularity and some form of income. Add to this the fact that Carnegie Hall was the most prestigious venue of them all, and its easy to understand why the Ellington Orchestra was determined to play its best that evening, performing old standards and Ellington favorites. Among the many high points from this marvelous concert, are excerpts from “Black, Brown and Beige”, Al Hibbler’s vocal rendition of “Do Nothing ‘Til You Hear From Me”, Rex Stewart’s showpiece “Trumpet In Spades” and, above all, the first performance ever of “New World A-Coming”.

La Orquesta de Duke Ellington, que interpretó el esperado Segundo Concierto del Carnegie Hall el 11 de diciembre de 1943, estaba formada por antiguos alumnos famosos y nuevos talentos como el clarinetista Jimmy Hamilton, el bajista Alvin Raglin y el vocalista Al Hibbler. Debido a la prohibición de grabar durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, los conciertos en directo se convirtieron en algo vital para mantener la popularidad de la banda y alguna forma de ingresos. Si a esto le añadimos que el Carnegie Hall era el lugar más prestigioso de todos, es fácil entender por qué la Orquesta de Ellington estaba decidida a tocar lo mejor posible esa noche, interpretando viejos estándares y los favoritos de Ellington. Entre los muchos puntos álgidos de este maravilloso concierto, se encuentran extractos de "Black, Brown and Beige", la interpretación vocal de Al Hibbler de "Do Nothing 'Til You Hear From Me", el espectáculo de Rex Stewart "Trumpet In Spades" y, sobre todo, la primera interpretación de "New World A-Coming".
