I was listening tto "Late Junction" on Radio 3 the other week and I heard an Ellington piece that seemed to be derived from "The Nutcracker". Most impressive.

Does anyone know whatr it is?

Thanks in advance

Sounds like it must be Ellington and Strayhorn's arrangement of Nutcracker. Oddly enough, it's called "The Nutcracker Suite".
