What jazz cd has the longest playing time?

I just noticed that the new re-issue of "Ellington Uptown" has a playing time of just under 80 minutes. I think that that's the most of any cd I own. Anyone know of one that's longer?

I think 80 minutes is about the absolute limit for a standard audio cd, so I don't think anything beats that by much.

I've once seen a CD that had more than 81 minutes. But that's above the CD specification, and not all players can play it to the end.

I did some googling, and found this:

Longest CD

On the same page there is also alist of the best 150 jazz records of all time ...

Well, I see my Marsh cd (at 78:14) ties for 97th place. I also see my lp version of "People In Sorrow" makes the list of 150.

Why am I broke?

Because it's a world gone wrong?

My wife has a Julio Iglesias (?) CD that I swear is two and a half hours of pure hell.  But maybe I overestimate...

You must have the patience of Job.

I would run stark raving mad out of the room...TWO and 1/2 hours???

Oh, it's probably only 30 minutes. But it seems like two and a half hours...
