This is a clarinet feature, written to showcase Jimmy Hamilton. While on tour in Europe during that year Ellington introduced several pieces as "Impressions of the Far East." At that time the Suite consisted of Amad; Agra; Bluebird of Delhi and Depk. As the notion for a full-length suite began to take shape several more pieces were composed: Ad Lib on Nippon; A Tourist Point of View; Mount Harissa; Blue Pepper and Isfahan. This publication is based on the original set of parts, Billy Strayhorn's handwritten sketch score, an engraved copyright deposit sketch score, and the 1966 studio recording.
