jazzbo Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 I've only got the mono lp. And the Columbia stereo cd. I'm not much of a vinyl spinner these days. And certainly not here in my "second home." Anyway, I'd love to see Bal Masque, Midnight in Paris, practically anything else not on cd in the US. I'd really like to see them do the remainder of the 1947-1952 material in some sort of a set. I very much agree! (Second home?) Second home: an extended stay hotel/apartment place in Medical Center area, Houston. Been here most of the time since early April caretaking my wife through cancer treatment.

montg Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 AAJ reviews of these releases: MASTERPIECES ELLINGTON UPTOWN and one more: FESTIVAL SESSION and if you look through this thread DISCOGRAPHICAL DUKE you may find more information. Does anyone know if 'Festival Session' is going oop? It's backordered at amazon and cd universe and when i searched the sony site to try and buy it it was listed as unavailable. I finally ordered a copy from half.com, hope it arrives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EKE BBB Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 Any word on possible forthcoming volumes in the DETS Treasury series? I have no news on this regard, but will ask at the dukelym list.... No news from duke-lym. BTW, I ordered a few DETS volumes that I was still missing the other day.... been in a Ducal hunting lately.

paul secor Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 Lush Life on CD: http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/news.php?id=11649 Elvis Costello does Strayhorn? Think I'll pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalo Posted November 20, 2006 Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 That was my reaction, Paul. I loved Costello when I was a kid, but please. And adding lyrics to that particular tune seems almost sacriligious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalo Posted November 20, 2006 Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 To clarify my last post: Lovano and Charlap also lend support to special guest vocalist Elvis Costello on one of the most striking performances on the album, a haunting version of Strayhorn's final composition “Blood Count,” which was written from a hospital bed shortly before he died in 1967. Here the tune is given lyrics penned by Costello and retitled “My Flame Burns Blue.” Please say it ain't so... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Hiles Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 I keep looking for news on the Treasury Show series, and found a track listing for volumes 13 and 14 on the Duke Ellington Music Society site, plus news that Lance Travis wrote the liner-notes for vol. 13 and Andrew Homzy "will write" the liner-notes for vol. 14. So it looks like these are coming, but so far, nothing official on the Storyville site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what has happened with the DETS series after Storyville was purchased. I recently asked in the duke-lym list if there's an expected release date for those new volumes and got no replies.

LAL Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 Would it be accurate to conclude that there is nothing new being released on this Collectables disc, in particular the Blue Light album on disc 1? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EKE BBB Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 Recently published and recommended (see specific thread) is the "Creole Rhapsody" 2CD compilation on ASV/Living Era. And, besides the Duke Ellington: 1936-40 Small Group Sessions (#235) Mosaic box set, there's more Ellington coming in the scheduled Various Artists – The Jazz Piano (MCD-1012) Mosaic single CD: The “various artists” on this album read like the history of jazz piano: Willie “The Lion” Smith, Earl Hines, Duke Ellington, Mary Lou Williams, Billy Taylor and Charles Bell. The occasion was a piano workshop on a Sunday afternoon at the Pittsburgh Jazz Festival in 1965, obviously a time when giants still walked the earth. The original album contains only ten tunes. This reissue contains all 19 performances, newly remixed from the original three-track masters, adding new material from Smith, Williams, Taylor and Bell. The concert is now presented in the order in which it was performed. Each pianist performs solo or with bassist Larry Gales and drummer Ben Riley. Earl Hines duets with Ellington on an improvised blues and with Taylor on “Sweet Lorraine.” The concert closes with a blow-out version of “Rosetta” with Hines, Smith, Williams, Taylor and George Wein sharing two pianos. A one-of-a-kind event. Guess this is: June 20, 1965. Pittsburgh. Concert at the Civic Arena. Jazz Piano Workshop.

ghost of miles Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 Lush Life on CD: http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/news.php?id=11649 Elvis Costello does Strayhorn? Think I'll pass. Well, I'm going to stick my neck out & say I like what Costello does with the song. It's a trio performance--just Costello on vocals, Lovano on tenor sax, and Bill Charlap on piano--and to my ears he respects the spirit of it and adds something all his own... it actually ends up sounding almost like a Costello ballad, and I mean that in a good way. As Mr. Sangrey is wont to say, though, others' mileage may vary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
