Stompin at the Savoy Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 I think I actually have that 4 disc collection but in a cheapo edition with no documentation. I've been thinking about getting the 11 disk Mosaic and bid on one the other day but lost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I guess the vintage logos refer to the present labels. (It is confusing.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin V Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 Well, now that I know of a glaring gap, I couldn't let that stand. I couldn't find the 'Best of' set of 4 discs, but I did grab the truncated 'Real' set of 3 discs for $9 (including shipping!) to give me a taste until the Mosaic pops up for a price I can handle. Although I hate to buy material that I know will later be duplicated, at least the set has those rehearsal takes (not like I could ever hope to be a Duke completist).

(It is confusing.) It is actually a combination of Columbia and RCA tracks. Apart from the 2 previously unissued tracks, 'Daybreak Express' is an RCA cut.

Discs 1 & 3 duplicate the same discs in the 4 disc set. The 2nd disc is drawn from discs 2 & 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miles65 Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 (edited) The program for the 2023 conference in Paris is available: Duke Ellington International Meeting 2023 - La Maison du Duke (maison-du-duke.com) I'm looking forward to meeting friends again for the first time since 2016 in New York or the DESUK AGM in 2017. I could'n make it to the Birmingham meeting and the one in Washington was cancelled due to Covid. The Laurent Mingnard Duke Orchestra will perfom selections from Boola. Unearthed by Michael Killpatrick from the Smithsonian Duke Ellington archive. Edited February 2 by miles65 typo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miles65 Posted February 21 Report Share Posted February 21 For those of us who plan to go to the Paris conference: Tickets for most events can be downloaded from Booking EN - La Maison du Duke (maison-du-duke.com) Be on time. For sessions in the Médiathèque Musicale de Paris there are only 60 tickets avialable. There are not yet tickets available for the screening of Paris Blues. Unfortunately there are no tickets available for visiting the Boris Vian home or the Sunday commented walk. These are for speakers only. I now have tickets for the 2 concerts and the 4 seances in the Médiathèque Musicale de Paris. I'll skip the Duke for kids event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
