I quite like his music especially the Bix periode. Favorites: Lonely Melody, Changes, When and most tracks on Bix restored. On CD 9 from track 11 on a string a delightful recordings. And I think Whiteman's recording of Gershwin's Concerto in F is for me the best version I know (not that many).

Charlie Parker on Dial were 6 single LP's on Spotlight for me still have those as well.

My first box was The complete Charlie Parker on Savoy 5 LP set. 60 guilders at the time. I still have it.

Mine arrived today from Belgium.

For the completists The Savory collection has a few recordings with Ellington unknown at the time. And unavailable if they had known. They are from Carnegie Hall. My notes are sketchy. Among the tunes are Happy Go Lucky Local, Improvisation 1, Honeysuckle rose (14:33) and iirc Happy Go Lucky Local, Improvisation 2, Honeysuckle rose (14:35). There were concerts 23th and 24th November 1946.

A Carnegie Hall concert from November 23, 1946. First issued on a Italian lp on the Queen label. The four non V-disc tracks from that concert have never been reissued since.

I love the movie and I have a 78 of the Harry Lime theme by Caras . Don't know if I need more.

Ellington V-disc recording consist of: aircheck, concert, transcription etc. recordings. I like the sunrise is an instrumental version of the take used on the Liberian Suite Lp. For the LP the vocal was dubbed over. Most if not all V-discs were issued on various Classics CD's. Thanks to V-discs we have the never completely recorded Deep South Suite.

The set can now be pre ordered. I all ready did through TYQmusic. Jazzmessengers is also possible for European customers.

No Ellington either. I believe the Ellington estate have the same lawyer as the Goodman and Calloway estates.

Today I received an e-mail announcing a special AGM from DESS to discuss dissolution of DESS. Reason being the dwindling number of members. 136 at time of writing. The rising cost of producing the DESS bulletin. The rising age of those in charge and the failure to attract younger members. The bylaws stipulate that the decision of the dissolution must be taken at two consecutive AGM's. The first will be 24 November 2025 and the second no later than 31 March 2026. A sad but inevitable decision. I'll be voting for dissolution not because I want it to end but because it is the only reasonable thing to do. The mail ends with quoting a Duke Ellington song “If you were in my place, what would you do?”

I burned what would have been Duke Ellington Masters of Jazz vol. 13 for myself. After playing vol. 1 to 12 I finish with vol. 13. Vol 14 and further are on the 2 Mosaic boxes and the big RCA box. For me no need to burn more CD's.

Maybe the word Fake should be removed from the tread title.
