Released 1960 Recorded April 27 & 28, 1960 Length 41: 38 MG V-8386 chronology (1959) A Portrait of Duke Ellington (1960) (1960) A Portrait of Duke Ellington is an album featuring trumpeter and orchestra performing compositions associated with, recorded in 1960 and released on the label. All of the orchestral arrangements were provided by then accompanist – and sometimes arranger –, hired on the basis of a previously recorded but unreleased album with strings, arranged by Fischer for erstwhile classmate. Byrd played the tape for Gillespie; Gillespie liked what he heard. Unfortunately for Fischer, especially in light of the critical accolades given the eventual fruit of his, and Gillespie's, labor, Fischer's name was nowhere to be found on the finished LP; widespread awareness of his participation would have to await the CD reissue almost 2½ decades later.

Reception Professional ratings Review scores Source Rating favorable favorable The review awarded the album 4.5 stars. The album's original release received 5 stars from, though, owing to Verve's aforementioned oversight, Fischer's contribution went unnoticed. In fact, it was only through the efforts of one intrepid and musically attuned reviewer, 's Tony Gieske, that this, as well as two of Fischer's other groundbreaking efforts in this period, were acknowledged and documented. Regarding the Gillespie LP, Gieske noted: And on A Portrait of Duke Ellington (Verve MG V 8386), that depth and skill, stimulated by a change in the strale Gillespie repertoire and compemented by rich, radically imaginative arrangements by, I am told, Clare Fischer, result in a really classic album. Fischer, a young conservatory graduate, is a new name to be reckoned with.
