Lazaro Vega Posted December 23, 2016 Report Share Posted December 23, 2016 Jazz From Blue Lake on-demand today only presents the music of Duke Ellington, especially the 1947 sound of trombonist Lawrence Brown and his co-composition with Ellington of "On A Turquoise Cloud," featuring a wordless, operatic vocal by Kay Davis. Christmas and seasonal music by Benny Goodman, Glenn Miller and Fats Waller, too, among many others (there's 5 hours of jazz here, folks).

ghost of miles Posted December 23, 2016 Report Share Posted December 23, 2016 I love the late-1940s Ellington band. I wish that Mosaic would do a set of the late 40s-early 50s Columbia sides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted December 23, 2016 Report Share Posted December 23, 2016 Me too! (Even though I have this material on French CBS LPs and CDs)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medjuck Posted December 23, 2016 Report Share Posted December 23, 2016 Me three. I did suggest it to Scott once who IIRC he suggested that they would look into it. Most of those sides were released as singles weren't they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted December 23, 2016 Report Share Posted December 23, 2016 Yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost of miles Posted December 24, 2016 Report Share Posted December 24, 2016 I could be misremembering, but I think Scott told me several years back that they were indeed contemplating such a set. This wasn't long after the 1932-40 DKE Mosaic came out. There's also a 1920s/early 30s DKE set on the drawing board, but no idea on when it might come to pass.

JSngry Posted December 24, 2016 Report Share Posted December 24, 2016 A lot of singles, but some key LPs also! Liberian Suite, Masterpieces, and Uptown (Hi-Fi or otherwise), these were originally all LP issues, 10" or 12". All that aside, give me Kitty or give me deaf! Sonny Greer got THAT pocket this time!

medjuck Posted December 24, 2016 Report Share Posted December 24, 2016 Yes but I think the Lps are all available individually as well as in the box set 1951-58. I want Kitty and The Asphalt Jungle Twist. BTW I think I also asked him about Mercer records and was told the rights are to complicated.

JSngry Posted December 24, 2016 Report Share Posted December 24, 2016 That box bugs me becuase it's two different eras in one set. Rather they'd have front-loaded it with the post-Musicraft work and left off the post-Bethlehem work. There's enough more to have made that a set itself.

JSngry Posted December 24, 2016 Report Share Posted December 24, 2016 Ha, this album was heretofore unknown to me, although the contents certainly weren't! Released in 1949 as both a 78 album and a 10" LP with a variety of covers.

Here's a Night Lights show that covers the 1945-47 era: On A Turquoise Cloud: Duke Ellington After The War, 1945-1947 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
