Dance Concerts, California 1958

Dance Concerts, California 1958 is the second volume of The Private Collection a series documenting recordings made by American pianist, composer and bandleader Duke Ellington for his personal collection which was first publicly released on the LMR label in 1987 and later on the Saja label.

Reception
The Allmusic reviewer Scott Yanow stated: "The music on this CD sticks to standards (some of which were not usually associated with Duke) and can be thought of as a live version of Indigos... A typically excellent example of 1958 Duke Ellington".
