Duke Ellington's Sidemen - Away From Ellington

[Ken Dryden]

A survey of recordings by Duke Ellington sidemen, before, during or after their time with the bandleader. Ellington is not present on any of these sessions, nor are his compositions, though other sidemen are present on some of them.

Timely for me, as I've recently been revisiting the Johnny Hodges 1956-61 Mosaic set.  Will definitely give this a listen!

David, I hope you enjoy it. It was fun putting this show together and trying to get a wide range of sidemen, while focusing away from Ellington's compositions.

I am definitely on board for this!  Thanks for posting-I've downloaded it and have it cued up and ready to go.

Thanks a lot. Just downloading the files.

Finally got a chance to listen to this in its entirety--thanks much!  Quite a few recordings that I'd never heard or hadn't listened to in a long time.  Hopefully that Barney Bigard Black and White session makes Mosaic's label box set.  (If said set does eventually come to pass.)
