Jazz From Blue Lake on-demand today only presents the music of Duke Ellington, especially the 1947 sound of trombonist Lawrence Brown and his co-composition with Ellington of "On A Turquoise Cloud," featuring a wordless, operatic vocal by Kay Davis. Christmas and seasonal music by Benny Goodman, Glenn Miller and Fats Waller, too, among many others (there's 5 hours of jazz here, folks). Click "Jazz From Blue Lake" here: www.bluelake.org/ondemand

I could be misremembering, but I think Scott told me several years back that they were indeed contemplating such a set.  This wasn't long after the 1932-40 DKE Mosaic came out.  There's also a 1920s/early 30s DKE set on the drawing board, but no idea on when it might come to pass.

A lot of singles, but some key LPs also!

Liberian Suite, Masterpieces, and Uptown (Hi-Fi or otherwise), these were originally all LP issues, 10" or 12".

All that aside, give me Kitty or give me deaf!

Sonny Greer got THAT pocket this time!

Yes but I think the Lps are all available individually as well as in the box set 1951-58.  I want Kitty and The Asphalt Jungle Twist. BTW I think I also asked him about Mercer records and was told the rights are to complicated.

That box bugs me becuase it's two different eras in one set. Rather they'd have front-loaded it with the post-Musicraft work and left off the post-Bethlehem work. There's enough more to have made that a set itself.

Ha, this album was heretofore unknown to me, although the contents certainly weren't! Released in 1949 as both a 78 album and a 10" LP with a variety of covers.
