A peça foi composta por Duke Ellington em 1937 e gravada pela primeira vez em 15 de maio do mesmo ano pela Orquestra de Duke Ellington.
Na gravação original, participaram músicos notáveis como Cootie Williams e Rex Stewart no trompete e corneta, bem como Johnny Hodges e Otto Hardwick no saxofone alto.
O saxofone tenor estava completamente ausente na seção de gravação original, assim como em "Crescendo in Blue", que foi gravada no mesmo dia.
Inicialmente, as duas partes individuais, "Diminuendo in Blue" e "Crescendo in Blue", foram gravadas em lados opostos de um disco de 78 rpm.
A apresentação de 1956 no Festival de Jazz de Newport revitalizou a carreira de Ellington, impressionando o público quando membros sentados começaram a dançar e se levantar nas cadeiras durante o solo de saxofone tenor de Paul Gonsalves.
