  ## 1940-1949
  
  La production au début des années 1940 est limitée en raison de la grève des enregistrements entre juillet 1942 et novembre 1944 chez RCA Victor mais Ellington effectue plusieurs représentations annuelles au Carnegie Hall. Au cours du concert donné en janvier 1943, Ellington a présenté sa première suite, Black, Brown and Beige. Cette période a également vu l'apparition de la Liberian Suite ainsi que des enregistrements très estimés avec en vedette Jimmy Blanton et Ben Webster, « le meilleur band d'Ellington » selon le critique Bob Blumenthal.

  ## 1950-1959
  
  Ellington débute les années 1950 avec le départ de Johnny Hodges, de Sonny Greer et de Lawrence Brown. Il fait cependant un retour remarqué au Newport Jazz Festival le 7 juillet 1956 avec un long et mémorable solo de 27 chorus du saxophoniste Paul Gonsalves sur Diminuendo and Crescendo in Blue. En signant avec Columbia il réalise Ellington at Newport, la meilleure vente de sa carrière.

  Ellington est resté actif jusqu'à la fin de sa vie, en enregistrant trois suites importantes dans les années 1970, son Third Sacred Concert, le New Orleans Suite, le Toga Brava Suite et The Afro-Eurasian Eclipse, une véritable aventure dans ce qu'on pourrait appeler la world music. Le concert qu'Ellington donne à Eastbourne en 1974 est son dernier enregistrement.
