Duke Ellington question...


I have a good friend who is legally blind and he asked me to help him find a Duke Ellington album with the tune of "Harlem Nocturne".
Do any of my fellow A'Goners know which album might have this track.
Thanks for your help.

In various group formats Duke Ellington recorded the following titles containing the word Harlem:

Echoes Of Harlem
Boys From Harlem
Harlem Airshaft
Drop Me Off in Harlem
Harlem Speaks
Harmony In Harlem
Jungle Nights in Harlem

These are the ones I know of, there may be more. Most of the tunes are available on the Mosaic box set "Complete 1936-1940 Variety, Vocalion and Okeh Small Group Sessions". I suspect they are also available on any number of Ellington compilation recordings.
