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.

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.
