Shock Treatment is an album by trumpeter Don Ellis recorded in 1968 and released on the Columbia label.

[1] Rolling Stone writer John Grissim wrote on the album's release that "Shock Treatment isn't really.

But it does offer ten tightly arranged compositions notable for brassy melodic lines superimposed on a rhythmically complex percussion base.

The album's desirability as an addition to a record collection is largely dependent upon whether you have a taste for a big band sound".

[4] The Allmusic site awarded the album 3 stars stating "Don Ellis was such a talented trumpeter, composer, and organizer that everything he recorded as a leader has at least some unusual moments worth exploring.
