Indigos is a 1958 album by jazz legend Duke Ellington. The CD reissue that was released in 1987 contains a track listing and cover art that is drastically different from the original LP. One song ("The Sky Fell Down") is omitted, one ("Autumn Leaves") is presented in an alternate take, and two previously unreleased performances ("Night and Day" and "All the Things You Are") are added.
