I can’t find when this was filmed, but the first version of this composition appeared on Ellington’s 1962 album, Money Jungle, which featured Charles Mingus and Max Roach.

Last night’s saviours…
Exquisite.
A solo performance by Thelonius Monk of four Ellington tunes: “Satin Doll,” “Sophisticated Lady,” “Caravan” and “Solitude”. Then he plays his own composition “Crepuscule With Nellie,” before joining the Joe Turner Trio in a performance of “Blues for Duke.” These performances are available on the DVD Monk Plays Ellington: Solo Piano in Berlin ’69.
