EKE BBB

A masterpiece, IMHO!

I´ve picked up these 7... planning to get some more! Good sound and interesting dates!

Black, Brown and Beige

I do like the Eldridge sides! Roy looks like he´s containing himself: playing calmly, softer than I´d ever heard him! It´s a superb disc, maybe the second one in my list, after the Webster! The Webster sides are simply wonderful. Ben concentrated on his tone, blowing a few notes, leaving Tatum to do the pyrotechniques... (simply I can´t fix my ears on the rhythm section...) Agree with ubu regarding the Edison/Kessel date... though Sweets is a favorite of mine! BTW: what a hazardous trip yours has been, ubu! Two weeks almost concentrated on Tatum... Danger of serious overdose!

And now FAKE and ILLEGAL STAMPS including Bono, Bowie.... and MILES DAVIS

Even at the risk of being a pain in the neck.... Autograph Musical Quotation Signed, 2 bars from his 1930 hit Mood Indigo, boldly penned on an envelope containing cancelled stamps of the Republic of Togo, two of them depicting Ellington.

And what about this English postmark???

Big Band Leaders BTW: wasn´t the Duke A BIG BAND LEADER???
