Don Brown Posted May 3, 2005 Report Posted May 3, 2005 Hi Chuck. I didn't realize that Hal McIntyre and Jack Teagarden were "Canadians". Quote
Noj Posted May 3, 2005 Report Posted May 3, 2005 Just picked up Jazz Party and Masterpieces By Ellington to add to Money Jungle. That makes 3 Ellingtons in my collection, yeehaw! Seriously though, Jazz Party is really sounding good to me. Third time through! Gonna have to add to that low number of Ellingtons. No doubt about it. Checking the recs in this thread, may go with one of the boxes...when I'm rich. Masterpieces on deck! I've since added Blues In Orbit and Meets Count Basie. Now I want everything from the "favorite Ellington suites" thread. Quote
Don Brown Posted May 3, 2005 Report Posted May 3, 2005 Hey, Noj, whatever you do don't miss "Anatomy of a Murder". It has the music Ellington wrote for the soundtrack of Otto Preminger's classic film. Quote
Noj Posted May 3, 2005 Report Posted May 3, 2005 Thanks for the suggestion, Don. Between yours and Guy Berger's suggestions my bank account is going to take a beating. Well worth it for Ellington! Maybe some day I'll have as many Ellington albums as Lon! Nah, that's not possible. Quote
Noj Posted October 28, 2005 Report Posted October 28, 2005 Up for Ellington! Can't get enough of Piano In The Foreground! Quote
jazzbo Posted October 28, 2005 Report Posted October 28, 2005 It's really great isn't it, and I love that they added that cool stuff to the original lp material! Quote
Noj Posted October 28, 2005 Report Posted October 28, 2005 Yes, I especially like Piano Improvisation #1. Quote
brownie Posted March 29, 2007 Report Posted March 29, 2007 The Duke meets Joan Miro during a visit to the Maeght Foundation in Saint-Paul de Vence on the French Riviera in July 1966. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ExuuE4ZSVQU Sculptures by Miro, Alexander Calder and Albert Giacometti are among the works shown on the video. Playing with the Duke are bassist John Lamb and drummer Sam Woodyard. The Duke Ellington orchestra was playing at the Juan les Pins/Antibes jazz festival, a few miles away, at the time. Quote
mikeweil Posted March 29, 2007 Report Posted March 29, 2007 One would expect an Ellington thread to overflow ...... but no. A corner is too small a place: The Duke needs a palace! Ubu, I suggest you re-name this thread to make more room for this mountain of music. Quote
brownie Posted April 8, 2007 Report Posted April 8, 2007 A classic! The Duke Ellington Orchestra in 1943 with Hodges, Ben Webster, Tricky Sam and others Duke regulars. It's Junior Raglin on bass! Duke Ellington Jamboree Quote
brownie Posted April 8, 2007 Report Posted April 8, 2007 Is this available on DVD? Did a quick search before posting this but could not find a DVD with it! Quote

brownie Posted April 10, 2007 Report Posted April 10, 2007 Bichos has got it right. It's on that Duke Ellington CD/DVD from the Centenial Collection. I filed my copy with the CDs and overlooked it -_- Quote
brownie Posted August 9, 2007 Report Posted August 9, 2007 Scarecrow Press has the fifth edition of W.E. Timner's Ellingtonia announced as available as of next October 28! Timner Ellingtonia 5th Edition Quote
EKE BBB Posted August 10, 2007 Report Posted August 10, 2007 Scarecrow Press has the fifth edition of W.E. Timner's Ellingtonia announced as available as of next October 28! Timner Ellingtonia 5th Edition As this new edition of Timner still hasn't a list of releases for each track/session, I think I'll skip this one and stick to my 4th edition... and save money to pick Massagli/Volonté's "New DESOR", which is the reference work at this point.
