Edited by Peter Jensen, Rob DuBoff, Dylan Canterbury, and Jeffrey Sultanof. Arranged by Duke Ellington. Swing. Full score and parts. Published by Jazz Lines Publications (JL.JLP-7405).

Ellington's Mount Harissa, originally known as Nob Hill, which takes its name from a famous hilltop in Lebanon. This movement showcases his sometimes underrated piano playing. Once again is Paul Gonsalves on tenor, showcasing a more sprightly, upbeat approach than his earlier spots on Tourist Point of View. It's a particularly evocative piece, which continues to develop the themes of the suite while spotlighting the interplay between Ellington and one of his most trusted lieutenants. Ellington's piano solo has been transcribed for this publication.

Instrumentation: Full Score, 2 Alto Saxophones, 2 Tenor Saxophones, Baritone Saxophone, 4 Trumpets, 3 Trombones, Piano, Bass, Drums.
