''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.
