Swinging Swede

Can't believe noone has posted the actual cover yet!

I investigated this once, and came to the conclusion that the Stardust/Cleopatra set depicted above omits two tracks compared to the original Jazz Archives LPs. I therefore decided to get the Archives Of Jazz CDs, which have 12 tracks each, 24 in total, and truly are straight reissues of the Jazz Archives LPs. The sound is sensationally good.

Funny YouTube comment: "That's not Larry Goldings or Joey DeFrancesco. I think it's either Brother Jack McDuff or Babyface Wilette."

"held back due to the release of the Duke Box"? That's a bummer. The Cotton Club set is so much more important than the Duke Box which just rehashed previously released and readily available material. I have no interest in the Duke Box, but the Cotton Club set would be such a definitive and important set of what essentially is Ellington's earliest live recordings; at least his earliest good-sounding live recordings. The material has been scattered over several different releases on different labels, and the Storyville set would immediately replace all of them, and would have at least one new track and presumably better sound too. If they won't release this, then what are the chances of more D.E.T.S. volumes? Volumes 13 & 14 have also been ready for several years I think, and the discographies posted in the DEMS Bulletin. Not to mention additional promised releases of the stockpile recordings. Thanks for asking your friend anyway, even if the news were disappointing.

But that's the well-known Spud Murphy. We wanna know about Speed Murphy, goddammitt!!

Yeah. Here's a full orchestra version of his 4' 33". Listen and enjoy. BBC Symphony Orchestra - 4' 33" Someone should do a jazz version of it.

Basie.

Thanks for the clarification!

Nothing is previously unissued. However, looking closer at this release discographically reveals that if the Andorrans intended it to be the original album followed by bonus tracks, they messed it up, since tracks 1-10 actually mirror the 1989 CD, which differed from the original LP. The 1989 CD omitted one track,The Sky Fell Down, which only was on the mono version of the LP, and added two: Night And Day and All The Things You Are. The track order is different too. Here’s what was on the original LP: 1 Solitude 2 Where Or When 3 Mood Indigo 4 Autumn Leaves 5 The Sky Fell Down (only on mono LP; absent from stereo LP) 6 Prelude To A Kiss 7 Willow Weep For Me 8 Tenderly 9 Dancing in the Dark And here’s what’s on the Jazz Beat CD. Assuming that tracks 1-10 are the same versions as on the 1989 CD (the track order and timings match), I’ve added some info on where the tracks were available previously. 1 Solitude [on original LP and on 1989 CD] 2 Where Or When [on original LP and on 1989 CD] 3 Mood Indigo (stereo take) [on original stereo LP and on 1989 CD] 4 Night And Day [on French LP set ”Duke 56/62, Vol. 1” (CBS 88653) and on 1989 CD] 5 Prelude To A Kiss [on original LP and on 1989 CD] 6 All The Things You Are [on French LP set ”Duke 56/62, Vol. 1” (CBS 88653) and on 1989 CD] 7 Willow Weep For Me (stereo take) [on original stereo LP and on 1989 CD] 8 Tenderly [on original LP and on 1989 CD] 9 Dancing In The Dark [on original LP and on 1989 CD] 10 Autumn Leaves [an edited version was on original LP and this full performance on the 1989 CD] 11 The Sky Fell Down [on original mono LP only] 12 Commercial Time [on French LP set ”Duke 56/62, Vol. 1” (CBS 88653)] 13 Mood Indigo (mono take) [on original mono LP] 14 Mood Indigo (alternate take) [on French LP set ”Duke 56/62, Vol. 1” (CBS 88653)] 15 Autumn Leaves (alternate version from earlier date) [was on the CD ”Duke Ellington & His Great Vocalists”] 16 Willow Weep For Me (mono take) [on original mono LP] 17 Where Or When (alternate take) [on French LP set ”Duke 56/62, Vol. 1” (CBS 88653)] 18 All The Things You Are (alternate take) [on French LP set ”Duke 56/62, Vol. 1” (CBS 88653)] 19 Love (My Heart, My Mind, My Everything) [on Columbia single 41098, and also on the CD ”Duke Ellington & His Great Vocalists”] It’s quite complicated, and it’s possible that I’ve guessed wrong on some version. For example, it’s possible that track 15 is the LP version with Ozzie Bailey's first vocal chorus in French edited out. The track is one minute shorter. 13 and 14 may of course very well be reversed.

Holy crap! When did this happen?? I totally missed the news. Today. It's in this other thread: Sad news about Frank Morgan

She had seemed unstable the night before too, according to disappointed audience members. And after one of the Stockholm concerts, her manager was arrested for threatening and assaulting a photographer. The Copenhagen concerts are now cancelled. (in Swedish) http://www.svd.se/kulturnoje/nyheter/artikel_683655.svd

It should however be noted that the Jazz Track version has a bonus track, Pomegranate, from 7 March 1957. It's one of Duke's many non-album tracks from the 1956-62 Columbia period, and was only released many years later on a French CBS set. The "Andorrans" seem to start a new label every month. Now it's Jazz Track; other very recent labels include Jazz Collectors, Fine And Mellow and Jazz Beat. On the Jazz Beat label we also have The Complete Ellington Indigos. In addition to the original album there are eight bonus tracks, two non-album tracks and six alternate takes, expanding the CD to 79 miniutes. This also just came out in in the Jazz Originals series, but without the bonus tracks. It wouldn't surprise me if we soon would see a Such Sweet Thunder release from them, but with the correct take of Up And Down, Up And Down (Schaap managed to include the wrong take on the official CD).

Or you could wait for Frémeaux's Intégrale series to reach 1937... -_-

No, not in general. Arabs are Semites, but they only make up about 16 % of all Muslims. Most Muslims are not Semites.

Winning bidder: ajerant That has got to be a certain frequent poster at the old BNBB. Oldtimers will know whom I'm talking about. He has never been seen on the Organissimo board?

Bertrand, the liner notes were posted by Kevin in another thread. Although Cuscuna first heard the Silver at Newport session at the Library of Congress, the CD is actually mastered from tapes found in the Columbia vaults and in stereo! Columbia producer George Avakian supervised the recording of the entire Newport festival that year. Columbia albums from Newport 1958 by Ellington, Miles and Brubeck come to mind, but it's interesting that more has been lying unissued there the entire time (what else, one wonders?). From Newport 1959 a professional stereo recording exists of the Ellington band, but it only came out in 1989 on an EmArcy CD. What label recorded it originally? Mercury recorded the Quincy Jones orchestra at Newport in 1961, but were other sets recorded professionally too? If not, there is always the possibility of VOA mono tapes at the Library of Congress, as you mention. Cuscuna mentions that he was auditioning several tapes at the LoC, so who knows, maybe Blakey was among them?

Hopefully with that annoying shrill-ness taken out of the sound? But it was only earlier copies of The Soothsayer that were affected, right? This was discussed many years ago, probably on the old BNBB. I know my copy doesn't have any sound problems. Not only "discussed" on the old BNBB, but it was our discovery of that tape distortion caused Blue Note to pull the master tape back out and re-do the CD to fix that nastiness. It was too bad that they never pulled the original mucked up discs. I bet I bought 3 copies of it before I got one that was "fixed". That was back in the days when the BN board was doing its thing to help BN succeed. Cor blimey! I didn't remember that! Do you remember what year that was approximately? The CD came out already in 1990 and the BNBB didn't start until 1999, so the defective version must have been out there for an awfully long time. I think I remember some early prehistoric forum software on the Blue Note site (1997-99?), but I only occasionally lurked at that time. Does anyone else remember it? I think the BNBB as we knew it started in Spring 1999. In August 1999 I made my first post and it was a question about - of all things - Louis Smith! Yes, I view this as a direct continuation of the BNBB, since it was more or less the same people coming over here when the BNBB was closing. A few didn't. Hardbop comes to mind.

The BN take numbers are a bit unusual in that they cover all tunes of the sessions, so in the case of the Cornbread session we get: Lee Morgan Sextet Lee Morgan (tp) Jackie McLean (as -2/4) Hank Mobley (ts) Herbie Hancock (p) Larry Ridley (b) Billy Higgins (d) Rudy Van Gelder Studio, Englewood Cliffs, NJ, September 18, 1965 1. 1651 tk.1 Ceora Blue Note BLP 4222, BN-LA 224-G 2. 1652 tk.2 Our Man Higgins Blue Note BLP 4222 3. 1653 tk.6 Most Like Lee - 4. 1654 tk.12 Cornbread Blue Note 45-1930, BLP 4222 5. 1655 tk.15 Ill Wind Blue Note BLP 4222 So if the master take was the last attempt at each tune, there should be six takes of Cornbread. As JSngry says there will likely be many false starts and breakdowns among them. Cuscuna sometimes add alternate takes to CD reissues when he deems the quality good enough, but there may very well be complete takes he hasn't included because he doesn't deem them worthy of release. He has after all been unwilling to release unissued master takes from certain sessions, just because he personally doesn't like them.

It's actually quite a bit newer. The Best Of came out in 1989, and Chet Baker Sings in 1998. Thus I suppose the latter has better remastering. Yes.

From the blog: "This concert has been recorded, but never released on CD as far as I know." It has come out on CD twice. The first CD issue was on the Celluloid label and is now OOP. Then in 2005 it came out on a Lone Hill Jazz CD (probably a straight rip of the Celluloid CD):
