JSngry Posted April 21, 2015 Report Posted April 21, 2015 http://factory92.eu/wsf92/unreleased-conny-plank-session-with-duke-ellington/?hc_location=ufi am I believing this? Well, there's Paul, so I guess I am. Quote
xybert Posted April 21, 2015 Report Posted April 21, 2015 Exciting. The sample track sounds really good. Keen for more info. Quote
clifford_thornton Posted April 21, 2015 Report Posted April 21, 2015 Yeah, looking forward to this too. Quote

Clunky Posted April 21, 2015 Report Posted April 21, 2015 generous sound sample suggests this will have some promise. I wonder how much will be finished tracks. Quote
alankin Posted April 21, 2015 Report Posted April 21, 2015 (edited) Is the sample similar to the track that's on Storyville's "New York New York" title? (I don't have that one yet.) And why am I thinking of Sun Ra? Edited April 21, 2015 by alankin Quote
mjazzg Posted April 21, 2015 Report Posted April 21, 2015 You're not the only one thinking Sun Ra Quote
Clunky Posted April 21, 2015 Report Posted April 21, 2015 You're not the only one thinking Sun Ra I was thinking Herbie Nichols .... Quote
xybert Posted April 21, 2015 Report Posted April 21, 2015 Yeah i thought of Sun Ra as well. I associate Ellington and Sun Ra in my head (within reason), am often reminded of Ellington when listening to Ra and vice versa. Quote
JSngry Posted April 21, 2015 Author Report Posted April 21, 2015 If it's only five takes total, what format will this be and what price? This is a perfect candidate for a hi-res download-only release, no? Unless there's more that's not been documented. We can hope for that, yes? Quote
clifford_thornton Posted April 22, 2015 Report Posted April 22, 2015 From what I understand, that's it. Could make for a nice 10" or shortish 12" LP. Quote
l p Posted April 22, 2015 Report Posted April 22, 2015 Is the sample similar to the track that's on Storyville's "New York New York" title? (I don't have that one yet.) And why am I thinking of Sun Ra? it's the same take, but without the overdubbed vocal. and there's no vocalist listed on the session. Quote
xybert Posted July 5, 2015 Report Posted July 5, 2015 Looks like this will be out on July 10th:http://www.amazon.com/Conny-Plank-Session-Ellington-Orchestra/dp/B00WAONRY0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1436065513&sr=8-1&keywords=The+Conny+Plank+Session Quote

l p Posted July 8, 2015 Report Posted July 8, 2015 (edited) a 30 minute cd with 15 minutes of new material. the marketing person for this release deserves to be the president of the company. he's got news stories about this session all over the web. Edited July 8, 2015 by l p Quote
jazztrain Posted July 8, 2015 Report Posted July 8, 2015 Uncredited soloists will mystify?One would think that it wouldn't be too hard to tell the difference between Paul Gonsalves and Harold Ashby! Quote
jazztrain Posted July 8, 2015 Report Posted July 8, 2015 Indeed.But we don't write for the Wall Street Journal. Quote
JSngry Posted July 8, 2015 Author Report Posted July 8, 2015 Maybe we should send them some stuff namedropping Norris Turney. Quote
mjzee Posted July 8, 2015 Report Posted July 8, 2015 Just add some comments to the article. I'm sure they read them. Quote
