}}A Tribute to Duke is a 1977 studio album by various artists, recorded in homage to bandleader and composer Duke Ellington.^[1]

Reception

The Allmusic review by JT Griffith awarded the album 3 stars stating "This short, nine-track tribute to the legendary Duke Ellington packs more swing into its 36-minute length than you'd expect. The disc features guest performances from Bing Crosby, Rosemary Clooney, Tony Bennett, and Woody Herman...The instrumental "Main Stem" is a rollicking number that sadly fades out after five minutes. Crosby's "Don't Get Around Much Anymore" features some of his more adventurous vocalizations... A Tribute to Duke plays like a wonderful appetizer, readying your palette for more music. The only weakness of this disc is that it is too short.".^[2] Although he was to still record in the U.K., this marked the last occasion that Bing Crosby recorded in America.
