Jazz Party is a 1959 album by Duke Ellington and His Orchestra which contains a "formidable gallery of jazz stars" guesting, including Dizzy Gillespie and Jimmy Rushing (formerly the vocalist for Count Basie). It also featured a 9-strong percussion section on two tracks.

The recording was first digitally remixed by Larry Keyes and remastered by Vlado Meller in 1987 and released on CD in the CBS Jazz Masterpieces series. A new remastering by Bernie Grundman in the early 2000s was first issued by Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab.
