  1. Thank you - I'll delete the footnote!
  2. Many thanks! I'm sure Chuck will provide all this information at project's end and I will be sure publicise this as and when the information is available if I have any advance notice. I'm really looking forward to what previously unknown goodies may turn up in the late 40s recordings!
  3. I wrote this on the Steve Hoffman forum about the 'temporary' discography I put on my blog: "I've had look again at the discography I put on the blog and Volume 1 courtesy of Spotify! I'm sure there will be more corrections to be made - but I wrote up the discography in session order as it appears in The New DESOR and Timner (Fifth edition). i can see that at a couple of points it is at variance with the running order on Volume 1. I can't explain that but thought that publishing the recording sessions as they have been catalogued was the thing to do - even if there is variance. I believe a revised version of Volume 1 will appear at some point and perhaps that will resolve these anomalies. To my discography, I have added the take numbers for Washington Wobble and I Can't Give You Anything But Love. It should be possible to follow which take is on which date because the recordings still occur in the same order in both lists (if that makes sense). With regards to vocalists on this latter number, i guess the In Order list is in error. Listening again to these tracks, I do believe the discography I put out is correct in identifying the vocalists as Irving Mills and Baby Cox. ...I believe at the project's end, Chuck is going to make available all the information he has accessed for these releases which will be all our Christmases come at once for Ellington enthusiasts and which will I hope and expect render my own 'stop gap' account on my blog redundant!" All definitely a work in progress!
  4. The 'Azure' label was a series of cassettes produced privately by the Duke Ellington Music Society and impossible to come by nowadays, I think. The Jazz Violin Sessions have been released by La Maison du Duke in France. That release is likely still available to members of La Maison. The details are here: http://www.maison-du-duke.com/c7j8vr2v58/fichiers/CD_Fiche_MDD008.pdf
  5. This is the information I have managed to glean about the footage... https://villesville.blogspot.com/2019/11/perdido-and-more.html
  6. Just passing on info of a proposed Duke Ellington Conference - the 25th in the series of International Study Group conferences - which will be held at The Royal Birmingham Conservatoire, Birmingham, UK 25-27 May 2018. A 'Call for Papers' has been issued and further details are available here. Many thanks!
  7. The only 'new' material on here is the single CD of Gröna Lund material which does not replicate anything from the earlier 2CD set but is only about thirty minutes long and consists mainly of 'the dreaded medley'. Everything else has been out before on individual releases, including the DVD material - the Goodyear jazz show. Worth bearing in mind if you have collected all the previous Storyville releases, though.
  8. I have a Woody Herman Capitol Recordings to add to the list at £100 - A Basie Roulette Studio and a Basie Roulette Live box - again £100 each. Just for local pick up - or I will deliver between the outskirts of London (don't fancy driving through London during the Olympics!) and Carlisle - plus points east and west for petrol at cost. Thanks for looking!
  9. I have the following Mosaic boxes for sale but for local pick up only in Bury, near Manchester UK -or I'll happily deliver them within a 300 mile radius for petrol at cost. £70.00 each Anita O'Day: Complete Verve and Clef recordings Peggy Lee/ June Christy: Complete Transcriptions Stan Kenton: Complete Capitol Recordings 1943-47 (slight 'ding' to box corner - as bought. Everything else is mint) Oscar Peterson: Complete Clef/ Mercury Studio Recordings 1951-53 Harry James/ Gene Krupa Complete Capitol Recordings. I also have a copy of the 18 disc Nat 'King' Cole Trio set which I would sell for £250.00 - again, there eis a slight ding to the box corner - but otherwise mint - all but the first disc still sealed. All in excellent condition - O'Day/ Christy/ Lee/ Peterson sets still sealed. Please PM me if interested. Thanks!
  10. Seconded. I have the 10" 'X' disc of that on RCA amongst other sources for this music. It is sublime. Rex Stewart features as major character in the children's novel Riding on Duke's Train by Mick Carlon which was part of my Christmas reading. I found the novel rather charming! Many thanks for the thread. I am pony just beginning to explore Rex Stewart's contribution to the Ellington Orchestra - and his own work solo. As a discographical enquiry - is the album Rex Stewart in Paris on the Barclay label (I think) the same material as the 10" Ellingtonia on Dial? Many thanks.
  11. It may just be a finicky customer - don't let that take away any of the pleasure of owning this set. A lot of these titles have seen cheap PD issues over the years - I think it's great that they are finally being made available legitimately - and a 'complete works' version.
  12. The Ella set is currently withdrawn from Amazon.co.uk because they claim the product was "not as described". Anyone know why this might be the case? Thanks.
  13. I sprang for the Hampton - mainly because of the Ellingtonians featured direct from the original metal parts!
  14. I didn't think the prices were up to much! Could be a case of getting the 'fearless leader' and 'side steps' boxes for me, then. Thanks for the responses.
