Well, it might have been kind of.

I'll recommend the Peter Cook book, in part because he used previously undisclosed information from an interview I did with Michael Cuscuna.

Yes, it's a very nicely arranged and performed--and recorded--disc.

Duke Ellington “Midnight in Paris” HDTT cdr of a Columbia reel-to-reel This one grows on me over the years. I suspect a high Strayhorn arranging content on this one. . . though Duke may have loved Paris as Billy and he may have done quite a few of the arrangements. Great Columbia sound!

“Masters & Baron Meet Blanton & Webster,” Mark Masters Ensemble Man, great music and sound.

Allen Lowe & The Constant Sorrow Orchestra “America – The Rough Cut” ESP cd This has become my favorite Allen Lowe cd. . . so far (he has new ones coming out this summer). Sound is natural and vivid and the music has grit and grins and gristle. 636×566 64.4 KB
