Wonderful cover.

Disc 1: My first listen after finding it for $2, although I have a Hep disc covering some 1938 material.  I expected the sound to be worse.  However, I have been spending a lot of the last few weeks listening to '20s, '30s and '40s jazz, so my ears may just be tuned in to older recordings.

Always great to listen to. A great live recording of the "second quintet".

Also .... :

Maybe the only Occasion on which Bud played "Satin Doll". Evidently because it´s reported that Ellington produced this album. The choose of the drummer "Kansas" Fields is a bit strange, normally Kenny Clarke was Bud´s drummer in Paris .

To me excellent late Bud Powell and both Rovere + Fields fit in nicely ...

Last night:

A grab bag of Duke, mostly from 1937.  Years ago, this CD was one (of a couple) that prompted my breakthrough in "getting" Ellington. Therefore, it's now one of my most treasured.   And, even though I own all of this music on the big Mosaic set, I will never get rid of this particular disc.

 

This morning:

Really grooving to this lately.  A sort-of sequel to Baron's Down Home.

I'd recommend this compilation to anyone interested in checking out Berigan.

A Bang & Olufsen promotional item -- a little 38 page hardcover booklet which features mainly ad copy about their products (none of which I will ever be able to afford) and includes a 12 track CD of Duke Ellington material recorded by Mulgrew Miller and NHOP in Copenhagen in 1999.
