Hot Summer Dance
Hot Summer Dance is a live album by American pianist, composer and bandleader Duke Ellington recorded at Mather Air Force Base in California and first released as a CD on Bob Thiele's Red Baron label in 1983.

Reception
The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow stated, "There have been so many releases of live concert performances by Duke Ellington's orchestra that it is easy to become blase about them. ...  Hot Summer Dance features the 1960 Duke Ellington Orchestra performing their usual repertoire from that era ... It may not be essential, but Ellington collectors will enjoy this".
