Don Ellis Live at Montreux is a live album by trumpeter/bandleader Don Ellis recorded in 1977 and released on the Atlantic label.[1]
Scott Yanow of Allmusic said "Don Ellis' final record as a leader (he died from a bad heart in December 1978) is a worthwhile effort. Ellis' large orchestra (four reeds, eight brass, one keyboard, two bassists, two drummers, two percussionists and a string quartet) performs six of the leader's originals and, although none of the songs are all that memorable, there are many fine solos".[2] On All About Jazz, Jim Santella observed "this album from the Don Ellis library contains all the rhythmic and polyphonic excitement that you’d expect from such a pioneer in modern big band jazz. ...the album has a significant place in the history of jazz. Ellis influenced many. His legacy continues to inspire"[4]
