Duke Ellington And His Orchestra's *A Drum Is A Woman*, released in 1957 on Columbia, is a concept album that originally aired as a CBS television special, presenting a fantastical narrative about the history of jazz told through the character of Madam Zajj. The music blends Ellington's signature big band arrangements with elements of Caribbean rhythm and theatrical suite composition, making it one of the more ambitious and unconventional projects in his catalog. Billy Strayhorn contributed arrangements, and vocalist Joya Sherrill appears on several tracks.
