Tears of Joy (1971), also recorded live, was the first Ellis Orchestra recording that features a string section and pianist Milcho Leviev. The double-LP contains Ellis's masterpiece "Strawberry Soup," which is explored in the analysis section on my dissertation. Tears of Joy is considered by many to be the finest product of his ensemble.
