jazzbo Posted October 6, 2019 Report Posted October 6, 2019 (edited) Duke Ellington "Midnight in Paris" CBS France cd. I always liked this session. Has that bit of sloppiness I love about the Ellington band. . . they're well lubricated and having fun. Right now Ray Nance is playing violin and it's always a pleasure to hear Ray Nance.

Justin V Posted October 7, 2019 Report Posted October 7, 2019 Clifford Jordan - Hyde Park After Dark: With today being Norman Simmons' 90th birthday, I thought I'd return to one I've playing lately on which Simmons handled the piano and arrangements. Quote

Like let´s say the old Verve´s "We Get Requests" and "Night Train", they are beautifully relaxed little abums. And this one I like very much. I think it was very very much en vogue when it came out, since the Singers Unlimited were very very popular. And it was when I was in high School, all of them hummed that "Sesame Street". But all tunes are great, the then very much en voghe slow bossas like "Gentle Rain", "Shadow of your Smile", and the outstanding "It never entered my mind". I had the record in the 70´s , but somehow later sold it when i thought, it´s not so hip to have Oscar Peterson albums, but later my wife bought me the CD for Chrismas. A Beautiful record ! Quote
jazzbo Posted October 7, 2019 Report Posted October 7, 2019 One Ellington leads to another, which often happens. A single disc from that '56 to '62 Columbia period snags me into a long series of disc after disc of Ellington at times. Not a bad thing to happen. Right now Disc 2 from the "Ella & Duke at the Cote D'Azur," Verve cd. Quote

I don't have the time to let that happen now, but it certainly has before...one time with Duke it lasted for about six weeks, NOTHING but Ellington all day and all night and entailed not only listening to what I already had, but making runs to the records stores every few day to pick up a new thing or two. I've had it happen with other artists too, the extended lock-out of anything but their work, but it has happened more times and for longer durations with Duke than with anybody else. There's so much there, and it's all, at the very least, pretty damn good. Quote
jazzbo Posted October 7, 2019 Report Posted October 7, 2019 Yes, it happens to me most with Duke as well. And there is so much to listen to . . . over and over. And as you say it's all at least pretty good! Now on to Duke Ellington & His Orchestra "Jazz at the Plaza" Sony Japan cd. Quote

Dan Gould Posted October 7, 2019 Report Posted October 7, 2019 1 hour ago, Justin V said: Perfect example of how Black & Blue is a discographical nightmare. This was issued on the Definitive series as Deep Purple, which I have. Only one extra track, "Claude of Mine". But then there is a Japanese reissue this year, with Ghost of a Chance, Candy, Solitude and Nearness of You as additional tracks. No clue where those tracks came from ... Anyway ... fine music! Quote
