My favorite Bud Freeman and his Summa Cum Laude Orchestra.

What's the problem with the sequencing? Personally, I'm sick of the strict chronological presentation model.
The discs are still chronological. What I don't like is that the 'lesser' pieces (disc 3) are separated from the masterpieces (disc 1 & 2).
Just my opinion.
One can always use the shuffle mode on one's CD player.

Fremeaux just issued a 4 CD set with the Blanton-Webster recordings: Duke at his very best. The Jimmy Blanton, Billy Strayhorn, Ben Webster Sessions.
On CD 1 & 2 are the masterpieces. On CD 3 the pieces deemed not to be master pieces and the Ellington-Blanton duet session.
CD 4 contains the small group sessions.
The booklet is in French and English.
The Ellington piano solo’s are missing just as the alternate takes. The transfers are done by Alain Pailler mostly from 78’s.
Pro this set is that it makes this music available again and Fremeaux is a serious company so the sound quality will be good.
There is only a 31 second sample.
Against it is the sequencing.

After CD’s/DVD with concerts from the 1958 European tour recorded in London, Paris, Amsterdam, Goteborg, Munchen and again Paris Storyville will issue the November 7 1958 (DE5850) concert from Copenhagen. Apart from the medley the concert will be complete. As a bonus there are 1950 recordings made in Copenhagen. 3 unissued from the St. Thomas restaurant featuring Don Byas and Jimmy Hamilton on two tracks (DE5005). The CD finishes with Duke solo on two songs recorded at a charity event in Aarhus (DE5006). Release date 10 May 2024.

Thanks for posting this. I did not know about it. As Ellington once remarked in introducing a song "... and then the piano player comes in and steals the show".

Duke in Order vol 7 is now available on Spotify.
54 tracks from 29-7-1936 to 29-4-1937.
Missing are the 16-12-1936 Rex Stewart session Rexatious and Lazy Man Shuffle (2 takes each), and the 25-3-1937 Gotham
Stompers session (This is with Ellingtonians and members of the Chick Webb orchestra but without Duke).
The tracks correspondent with the Mosaic Bigband set CD 6 track 8-22, disc 7 tracks 1-6 (master takes) 14-18 (alternate takes).
And from the Small Groups set Disc 1 tracks 9-24. Tracks 5-8 is the Rex Stewart session. Disc 2 tracks 1-4 and 10-17. Tracks 5-9 is the Gotham Stompers session.

Here is the list of Pathé/Plaza recordings.
The Plaza group issued records on various labels (no claim to be complete): Cameo Romeo, Perfect, Banner, Oriole, Regal.
MoJ = masters of jazz volume, track number, Cl = classics, track number, N = Neatwork volume, track number, COL 2LP = French CBS complete Duke Ellington 2 LP sets volume and Lp 1 or 2 (track info not included).
I copied this from my excel file hence those lines. 10357-3 Rockin' Chair has never been reissued.
There has been no official reissue of these recordings since the French 2LP sets.

I got out my copy of Verve 513 876-2 The Original Mambo Kings. Attached the track listing for The Manteca Suite.
My Guess is that 6/8 is Rhumba Finale part 2. Running time 1:29. It sounds as an encore to me.
We won't know for sure until a copy of the EP turns up.
-
French RCA issued a complete 34-43 series on 24 LP's. Bluebird issued a number of 2 LP sets covering the same material. But I don't know if they went all the way to vol. 12. Discogs only listes 3.

The 3 tracks Don Byas Slam Stewart are on the CD Giants of the tenor sax Ben Webster/Don Byas
Commodore CCD 7005. These recordings were stangely missing in my collection. I found a cheap copy at discogs. https://www.discogs.com/release/5977955-Ben-Webster-Don-Byas-Giants-Of-The-Tenor-Sax/image/SW1hZ2U6MTM4Njc3ODg=

Miraculously my set arrived without VAT or import duties.

Don just arrived. Will spin a disk after work

November 18, 1970 Sun Ra gave a performance in Paradiso Amsterdam. The concert was taped. But the sound engineers had placed the microphones on stage. Not knowing the the Akestra would walk through the venue. Of the 3,5 hours taped a lot was not usable. But the Netherlands Jazz Archive assembled a CD from what could be used.
It is a legitimate production in cooperation with Sun Ra LLC.

Got my shipping notice yesterday.

No shipping notice yet. But my CC has been charged.

The track listing per CD with timing per track is added to the discography.

Have the other numbers with Ellington in the film ever been release on cd? (Hesitation Blues, Troubled Waters etc.)
The soundtrack recordings were issued on an Italian LP FDC 1021 Title unknown to me.
13 hours ago, jazzbo said:I believe so Joe. There are recordings from four Hollywood sessions on the same Classics cd, though no "Hesitation Blues":
11 to 13: Hollywood, April 12, 1934
#14: Hollywood, April 17, 1934
#15: Hollywood, April 23, 1934
#16 & 17: Hollywood, May 9, 1934https://www.discogs.com/release/5751836-Duke-Ellington-And-His-Orchestra-1933-1935
These are studio recordings with Ivie Anderson and not with Mae West.

Volume 6 is up.
This volume contains from the RCA box disc 7 tracks 7-17. This ends the RCA box untill we reach 1940.
From the Mosaic Big Band Box disc 4 tracks 15-18 and disc 5 complete and disc 6 tracks 1-7
Enter the Mosaic Small Groups box for disc 1 tracks 1-4.
Plus as a bonus My Old Flame sung by Mae West. Not included in the Big RCA box because the recording belongs to Paramount Pictures. It was included on the French RCA LP Integrale volume 9 and Classics 646 Duke Ellington 1933-1935 and many more compilations.

Most of this material is sourceable & has had CD release, the trickiest being the Trummy Young Signature session - apparently only ever released as a Signature 78 (according to Lord). I did a crosscheck yesterday & have all of this material bar the Trummy session & the Teddy Wilson one (available on a Classics CD). BTW, Wilson did a significant number of recordings for Musicraft throughout '45 to '47 - could easily be a boxed set.
According to the notes in the booklet with Classics 1037 Trummy Young 1944-1946 Signature 15005 was announced it was never released. Lord gives Signature 15006.

Yes, that's very annoying. Particularly so if the omission is not even because the musician featured elsewhere is not present at all but only because he does not SOLO.
And in this case here it sometimes says "Limited solo participation" by Byas. Pity ...
But I guess, with space constraints being what they are you cannot have 'em all. 🤨
Ah, long gone are the days when fans and reissuers drooled about a recording of a run-of-the-mill dance band just because it included 8 bars of solo by Bix or Tram.
Mayby annoying. But the set will be 10 Cd's. Lester Young had 2 sets with a total of 12 (including the Basie Decca's he did not solo on) Coleman Hawkins had 8, Chu Berry 7. More CD's would probably make the set much harder to sell. There are 40 previously unknown tracks. In the 'C' section with recordings on 'orphaned' labels there are (if i counted correctly) 13 labels involved. A reason I thought there would never be a Don Byas Mosaic at all. I'm glad I was wrong.
Most of the the reisusses of Bix and Tram were unlicensed or bootlegs depending on where you live. They didn't have to worry about who owns wich label. Makes live a lot easier.😄
