Back to RiR, and as a mere statistical curiosity, the New DESOR lists about 330 recorded performances by Duke Ellington (with or without the orchestra), including unissued performances, alternative takes... about 80% from the 60s and beyond.

Wow! Pettiford, of course. Corrected on original post!

[quote name='jeffcrom' date='07 October 2010 - 03:05 AM' timestamp='1286413521' post='1057036'] From what I can tell, Ellington only recorded "I've Got the World on a String" once, for British Columbia (the label, not the province) in 1933.

"Flippant Furry" is a quite unemotional mini-concerto composed by Billy Strayhorn as a vehicle for the most academic side of Jimmy Hamilton's clarinet. It was premiered in the 23nov46 Carnegie Hall concert and then abbreviated for the 5dec46 Musicraft recording, which has a completely different intro: while the Carnegie Hall version has 20 bars by Hamilton, followed by passages of 4 & 2 bars by the full orchestra alternating with 2-bar breaks by Oscar Pettiford, the Musicraft version opens with 4 bars by Ellington's piano, 3 by Russell Procope and 1 by the full orchestra. Both versions have three choruses of different length, but the 32-bars coda is structurally identical on both. (label scan is courtesy of David Palmquist's wonderful website, "The Dooji Collection" - see http://ellingtonweb.ca/Hostedpages/DoojiCollection/DoojiCollection.htm) The version recorded in the 7jan47 Capitol radio transcription session at the Pathé studios is very similar to the Musicraft but for the intro, which in this case is 26-bars long (20 clarinet, 4 orchestra, 2 bass). It was recorded just twice more: in the 19apr47 Cornell University concert and in a 1jul47 CBS broadcast from El Patio Ballroom in Lakeside Park (Denver).

He was taller than I am... not that this is strange...

I think I'll pass, unless I see I can fill in a few gaps in my ornithological collection.

Congratulations! (late, as always) Should we start the "We're approaching two million posts" now?
