Just listening to Jimmie Noone´s Apex Club Orchestra 1928 recordings with Jimmie Noone (cl, voc), Earl Hines (p), Joe Poston (as, voc), Bud Scott (bjo, g) and Johnny Wells (d). Lawson Buford added on tuba on some tracks. I dig this unusual quintet/sextet, with an alto sax instead of the classic trumpet or cornet plus clarinet front line. Joe Poston states the melody (or counter-melody) but never soloes. From my reading, this Apex Club Orchestra with Earl Hines only recorded 12 masters and 4 alternative takes. Is this information accurate? I have the 12 masters and one alternate in a King Jazz release (The quintaessential Jimmie Noone 1928-38) with this discographical data: Chicago May 16, 1928 Noone, Poston, Hines, Scott and Wells 1 I know that you know (Vocalion 1184) 2 Sweet Sue, just you (Vocalion 1184) 3 Four of five times (Vocalion 1185) 4 Every evening (I miss you) (Vocalion 1185) 5 Every evening (I miss you) (Vocalion 1185) Chicago June 14, 1928 Poston also plays clarinet 6 Ready for the river (Vocalion 1188) 7 Forevermore (Vocalion 1188) Chicago August 23, 1928 Buford added 8 Apex blues (Vocalion 1207) 9 A monday date (Vocalion 1229) 10 Blues my naughty sweetie gives to me (Vocalion 1215) ?????? Same personnel 11 Oh, sister! Ain´t that hot? (Vocalion 1215) 12 King Joe (Vocalion 1229) 13 Sweet Lorraine (Brunswick 80023) You can also find the 12 master takes in the Decca "Apex Blues" release or on Classics Jimmie Noone 1928-29.

Thanks, Lon. That´s right, sound´s not good by today standards... ... but anyway I want to complete my Ma Rainey collection!!! I have volumes 2, 3 and 4 and have never been able to find that volume 1.

In the early-to-mid 90´s they launched some very interesting series with "Complete" or "Quintaessential" chronological collections of early jazz artists on CD: Mezzrow-Bechet 45-47 ; Fats Waller & his rhythm 34-43 ; King Oliver 23-31 ; Louis Armstrong & the singers 24-30 ; Armstrong from the original Okehs 27-32 ; Ma Rainey ; Jelly Roll piano rolls... I have a bunch of them and find them very, very useful to fill gaps in my collection. The only piece I´ve read about this label is included in their booklets: "King Jazz was the label under which the Mezzrow-Bechet 1945-47 recordings were originally issued. In 1960 Mr. Mezzrow sold it to Alessandro Protti, the Italian music producer and Johnny Dodds specialist. King Jazz is now back in business wich a 96 CD program dedicated to the finest and rarest traditional jazz..." Anybody´s got some additional information on this label? I got my copies in some Collectors Fair in Madrid a few years ago. Anybody knows where could I find some of these rare CDs (on-line or not)? Thanks in advance

Just received an e-mail from Legacy Recordings announcing that the expanded editions of "Masterpieces", "Ellington uptown" and "Festival session" are due out on February 17. Festival Session CK 87044 JAZZ MASTERPIECES Duke's recorded tour of the summer jazz festivals Includes 2 Previously Unissued Bonus Tracks, New liner notes by Duke's longtime publicist, Patricia Willard. A brilliant, ebullient album! 24 BIT DIGITALLY REMASTERED Recorded just after Labor Day 1959, following a highly successful run on the U.S. summer jazz festival circuit, Festival Session is one of the Duke Ellington Orchestra's most consistently invigorating albums. Ellington (1899-1974) mixes old and new, with the orchestra in peak form, whether the material is tried-and-true (e.g. "Perdido" and "Things Ain't What They Used," the former co-written by the Maestro's longtime star valve trombone soloist Juan Tizol, the latter composed entirely his Duke's son, Mercer) or of then-recent vintage Ellingtonia. "Copout," is a workout for Paul Gonsalves' booting tenor saxophone;" Duael," a collegial stereophonic battle between drummers Sam Woodyard and Jimmy Johnson;" "Idiom '59," a three-part suite spotlighting Russell Procope's and Jimmy Hamilton's clarinets and Clark Terry's flugelhorn; and "Launching Pad," which, like earlier "train tunes," evinces Ellington's interest in a form of travel -- in this case, outer space. The newly remastered set is completed by a pair of previously unreleased tracks, making this an additionally exciting Festival Session. Masterpieces by Ellington CK 87043 JAZZ MASTERPIECES One of Duke's absolute gems! Includes 3 Bonus Tracks New liner notes by Duke's longtime publicist, Patricia Willard. The composer at his peak 24 BIT DIGITALLY REMASTERED Masterpieces by Ellington is among the most significant recordings in the vast discography of Duke Ellington (1899-1974). The four selections comprising the original album, recorded in December 1950, catapulted the Maestro into the LP era; the still-new 33-1/3 rpm format allowed this great composer/ arranger/ pianist and his matchless orchestra to take full advantage for the first time of the possibilities extended, high-fidelity performances. Ellington did not merely revisit three of his signature songs ("Mood Indigo" and "Sophisticated Lady," with evocative vocals by Yvonne Lanauze, as well as "Solitude"), he modernized their arrangements in a concert vein. "Masterpieces" was also notable for the debut of the full-bodied, surprise-laden "The Tattooed Bride," and for the swansongs of three Ellingtonian giants of longstanding: drummer Sonny Greer, trombonist Lawrence Brown, and alto saxist Johnny Hodges. (The latter two would eventually return to the fold.) Newly remastered, and containing three bonus tracks from 1950-51, Masterpieces is a revelation Ellington Uptown CK 87066 JAZZ MASTERPIECES Duke presents extended renditions of his classics Includes 6 Bonus Tracks New liner notes by Duke's longtime publicist, Patricia Willard. Contains 2 stunning suites by Duke 24 BIT DIGITALLY REMASTERED Recorded in December 1951 and 1952, Ellington Uptown joins stunning, extended works of recent vintage ("A Tone Parallel to Harlem", "The Liberian Suite," "The Controversial Suite") with fresh looks at such bona fide classics by Ellington and alter ego Billy Strayhorn ("The Mooche," "Take the 'A' Train)," as well as "Perdido," co-written by longtime star valve trombone soloist Juan Tizol. Ellington (1899-1974) was justly acclaimed for his portraits of various principal players; "Harlem" is a portrait-in-sound of daily life in the world's most famous African-American community. Vocalists also take star turns herein, with Betty Roche's jauntily bopping rendition of "'A' Train," and Al Hibbler's moving "I Like The Sunrise," the first movement of "The Liberian Suite." And there's Louie Bellson establishing himself as the dean of double bass drums on his "Skin Deep." Now expanded by six bonus cuts, and remastered to enhance the album's already spectacular sound, Uptown is a high water mark in the annals of Elingtonia.

Tete Montoliu made a pair of very short, almost impresionistic, but wonderful covers of "Come Sunday" a few months before his death in this piano solo live recording: -

AOTW Jan 25-31 D. Ellington "Black, Brown & Beige"

I´m not an audiophile at all, but my 1999 reissue sounds good to these ears, as all the Ellington CDs released on his Centennial year that I have. -
AOTW Jan 25-31 D. Ellington "Black, Brown & Beige"
EKE BBB replied to EKE BBB's topic in Album Of The Week
OK, I´ll start this one. BBB´s premiere took place on January 23 (1943) in the first of many Carnegie Hall Concerts for the Duke Ellington Orchestra. It received a cold reception from critics and public. This suite, as many of the extended works Ellington developed through his career, was criticized as being "pretentious" and as being a vain try of melting "serious music" and jazz. BBB has been criticized as well of having too much themes, too much changes of time and too much different moods. I couldn´t disagree more. It contains wonderful moments of fabulous music and some of the best Ellington melodies. It´s one (if not the most) spinned Ellington discs on my shelves. BBB original version (about 45 minutes) was edited, reduced, expanded and changed many times through Ellington´s career. *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* This 1958 (recording date) performance consists of the two principal parts of the complete piece, "Work song", heard in Parts I and III, and "Come Sunday", heard in parts II, III, IV and V. My personal highlights include: -the complete Part I, with its grandiloquent orchestral start, with that drum making its tom-tom tom-tom (this effect is even greater in the version included in Duke Ellington Private Recordings, vol.10), with continous new melodies and changes of rhythm. Dig it! ... and then there´s that simple but beautiful solo by Harry Carney. He makes another good one on Part II (I must recognize the first time I listened to this second one I thought it was a tenor sax and not a baritone) -the superb introduction by Shorty Baker on Part III and his brief call and response game with the orchestra. This 40 seconds are worth the price of the CD. Shorty Baker is a great asset in the whole suite. -Come Sunday: Mahalia Jackson is simply amazing here. This is one of my favorite Ellington melodies (and I have a great deal of them). Actually, I don´t own any Mahalia Jackson disc apart from this. So, this AOTW and this re-listening of BBB will make me include some MJ CDs on my wish-list (I know you´ll recommend some). -Ray Nance´s violin solo on Part V is one of his best with Ellington Orchestra. Keeping the Come Sunday melody, it introduces the 23rd Psalm. More impressions to come! -
I must recognize the only CD I have with Roland Hanna as a leader is "Sir Roland Hanna plays the music of Alec Wilder" in the "Helen Merrill presents" series, reissued in Gitanes/Verve. A good collection of solos, halfway between jazz and classical music (at least to my ears) rounded off with a beautiful version of "Sounds around the house" with Helen on vocals. Though this one is not in the first line of my "most spinned discs" starting grid, I really dig it. And I really appreciate his work with Mingus.

AOTW Jan 25-31 D. Ellington "Black, Brown & Beige"
EKE BBB replied to EKE BBB's topic in Album Of The Week
To keep this ball rolling, I oficially nominate Jim Sangrey (under his permission ) to pick next AOTW (Feb 1-7) B) -
Thanks Jim R for allowing me to pick AOTW for January 25-31. This is one of my favorite LP-era Ellington recordings, no doubt. Recorded in 1958, it´s BB&B´s third appearance on disc in an altered and edited version. It features Mahalia Jackson on "Come Sunday" and "23rd Psalm". This could be a good chance to discuss Ellington´s extended works skills (by comparison with his mastering within the song-type musical form). In advance, I must recognize I love Duke´s suites... and it doesn´t mean that I don´t like his hundreds of songs. BTW, now you know the meaning of the second part of my username, dig it?
