North of the Border in Canada (also released as Collages) is an album by the Ron Collier Orchestra performing music by Canadian composers,[1] with American pianist Duke Ellington as the featured soloist, which was recorded in Toronto in 1967 and released on Decca label.[2][3]
The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow stated: "None of the complex suitelike originals are particularly memorable, and the arrangements for the orchestra (two of the pieces utilize a string section) are reasonably colorful, but not too distinctive. Purely for Duke Ellington completists".[4]
