Black, Brown and Beige is a 1958 jazz album by Duke Ellington and his orchestra, featuring Mahalia Jackson. The album is a recording of a revised version of Ellington's Black, Brown and Beige suite. After a disappointing critical response to its first performance in 1943, Ellington divided the three-part suite into six shorter sections, leaving in "Come Sunday" and "Work Song", and it is this version that is recorded here. All tracks by Duke Ellington.

Ellington's orchestra from 1953 on would be a great, swinging and sensitive one, but it would not make the same lush sound that this one did. The arrangements and orchestrations all bear the hallmarks of Ellington's collaboration with Billy Strayhorn in the late 1940's: they are lush, symphonic, impressionistic, and densely (and adventurously) harmonic. This album gave Ellington and his men their first chance to "stretch out" some old works to the length afforded by the new LP format. Duke revisits three of his classic miniatures from the thirties ("Mood Indigo," "Sophisticated Lady," and "Solitude"), transforming each into a large-scale tone poem (. this complex performance of "Mood Indigo" runs to 15:26). He also introduces an important new classic with "The Tattooed Bride," one his most successful extended pieces.
