  1. 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.
  2. 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.

  3. 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. Duke Ellington: Copenhagen 1958 – Proper Music
  4. 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".
  5. 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.
  6. 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).

  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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=
  10. Miraculously my set arrived without VAT or import duties.
  11. 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. Archief Producten - Jazzarchief
  12. The track listing per CD with timing per track is added to the discography.
