Matthew Posted November 29, 2003 Report Share Posted November 29, 2003 I've decided that I will devote the year 2004 to the one and only -- Duke Ellington. I got my 40 cd set of his early stuff, and picking up cds right and left. So, I'm wondering what lps I should pick up of the Duke? What is on lp only? What sounds much better on lp than cd? For example: I recently saw a lp copy of Uptown in pristine shape but for $40.00. Should I have bought that? Any help from you Ellington nuts would be a great help.

wolff Posted November 29, 2003 Report Share Posted November 29, 2003 These are some titles you can find new: Blues in Orbit*** Duke's Big 4 First Time! The Count Meets the Duke Duke At Tanglewood Duke Ellington/Ray Brown This One's For Blanton *** Far East Suite Duke Ellington & John Coltrane ***wolff recommends Used I'd get the Mosaic LP set first.

David Williams Posted November 30, 2003 Report Share Posted November 30, 2003 You may not have such easy access to them over there, but the French have put out plenty of Duke on vinyl over the years: I've found Uptown, Indigoes, and Rosemary Clooney in the second-hand shops over the past year or so.
