Ellington '65

Ellington '65 is an album by American pianist, composer and bandleader Duke Ellington recorded in April 1964 and released on the Reprise label ironically in late 1964. The album features recordings of popular tunes arranged by Ellington and Billy Strayhorn, a formula that was revisited on Ellington '66 (1965).

The AllMusic review by Matt Collar noted that it was a "slightly more commercial effort than many previous Duke Ellington recordings," adding "While Ellington '65 isn't a bad recording, it is by no means required listening and will most likely appeal to die-hard Ellington completists."

The album debuted on Billboard magazine's Top LP's chart in the issue dated October 3, 1964, peaking at No. 133 during a seven-week run on the chart.
