Duke Ellington, Unknown Session (The Columbia Studio Albums Collection 1959-1961)

Yes, that is my problem; a big pile of backlog that I'm been nibbling at during the pandemic but progress is slow.

Has he actually listened to all those records? It seems impossible unless all one does is listen to records.

Actually, over the course of the week. But it's been an ECM dour mood for the last four months.

In the relatively small body of jazz/Indian classical fusion recordings, Karuna Supreme is the best one that I have heard.

It's a subgenre--the swinging jazz priest/reverend. There is a follow-up album on RCA, with less esteemed sidemen, but live at Baker's Keyboard Lounge.

You were correct; there are only William Gottlieb photos in this book. They are nicely reproduced and plentiful; also, photos of ephemera relating to the Steet and specific clubs. There's a short chapter on each club, with photos taken there. The text is pretty slight; no in-depth, new research. A nice book to flip through and browse while listening to music, but nothing more.

Eric Reed perhaps? I haven't listened to Eric Wyatt in a while, but I recall he plays one of Sonny Rollins' saxophones, given to him by Mr. Rollins (said to be his godfather?). I recollect Borough of Kings as being an album I liked; I haven't followed up with anything further. He plays a late night set at Smalls about every month; there are lots of his sets in the Smalls archive.

Marshall Allen is 96 and still leading the Arkestra.

I did see Doug Carn at the Zinc Bar in NYC in 2014. The crowd was sparse for the first couple of sets and by the third set, rather late on a week night, the place was nearly empty. Over the course of three sets, he performed most of the repertoire on his Black Jazz records. It was Duane Eubanks on trumpet, Stacy Dillard on tenor and soprano saxes, Lonnie Plaxico on bass. The drummer was unfamiliar and there were a couple of guest vocalists and a guest flute player over the course of the evening. Doug Carn stuck to piano.

I ordered a copy. Hopefully the content will be of interest beyond the photos.
