      Gerry Mulligan

      By Rooster_Ties · Posted

      I haven’t heard tons of Mulligan, but apart from the excellent Concert Band Mosaic, the single album I probably like best is The JM Songbook — which is really elevated by Bill Holman’s imaginative arranging. ❤️

      V-Disc Big Band Set Is Coming!!!

      By John L · Posted

      Very interesting quote indeed.  I seem to recall that some of the Hurricane Restaurant broadcasts might have gotten their first release on V-Disc.   In any case, with the Treasury Shows and the World Transcriptions, there is no shortage of Duke Ellington recordings from this period.

      V-Disc Big Band Set Is Coming!!!

      By jazzbo · Posted

      I've read that none of the Ellington V-Disks were recordings made for V-Disk, they were all other recordings put onto V-Disk. I think that puts them outside the scope of this set. Yes, I found this page.  https://ellingtonweb.ca/Hostedpages/DoojiCollection/DoojiCollection-VDiscs.htm The following I found very interesting: "[George T.] Simon, a V-disc producer, asked Duke if he would let the band make V-discs. Duke suggested he 'ask some of the guys'. 'And so I went over to Harry Carney and Lawrence Brown, whom I'd known for years, and asked them. Their reply in essence: 'George, if you are asking us to do this for free as a personal favor for you, of course we'll do it. But if you are asking us to do it for the Army, forget it - not when you consider the way they have been treating our people.'"

      Jimmy Cliff, RIP

      By gvopedz · Posted

      RIP, I still remember arriving to Austin decades ago and seeing Jimmy Cliff painted on a wall across the street from UT-Austin.  The painting is still there. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cj4qdren425o
