medjuck Posted November 21, 2008 Report Posted November 21, 2008 Phil Schaap claimed that the originally released take wasn't in stereo and that's why it got left off. He also claimed he wasn't responsible. Quote

sjarrell Posted July 26, 2009 Report Posted July 26, 2009 Hey, was this noted anywhere on the board? My search skills, not so good: WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The United States Mint launched a new coin Tuesday featuring jazz legend Duke Ellington, making him the first African-American to appear by himself on a circulating U.S. coin.

JSngry Posted July 26, 2009 Report Posted July 26, 2009 What they wanna go and put Duke on some two-bit coin for, huh? Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted July 26, 2009 Report Posted July 26, 2009 better than nickle and diming him. Quote
Teasing the Korean Posted July 26, 2009 Report Posted July 26, 2009 I will spend the rest of my life buying Ellington and Morricone albums, because there are so many of them, and most of them are great. Quote
sjarrell Posted July 26, 2009 Report Posted July 26, 2009 (edited) There's a Morricone quarter? Also: Member 666, post 666. Look out. Edit: But seriously, Ellington's is a mountain of output I can't imagine ever conquering. And I already have a coworker who razzes me for the amount I own... Edited July 27, 2009 by sjarrell Quote

They must have been really pissed in the 80's when the post office put him on a stamp. Quote
gmonahan Posted July 31, 2009 Report Posted July 31, 2009 Apologies if this has already been discussed: Has anyone listened to the "Complete Ellington Indigos" on Jazz Beat? It looks like a Spanish pirate label except that there are a fair number of alternate takes. I'm wondering about the sound. Also the recent reissue of "A Drum is a Woman"? Anyone listened to and commented on that? If so and I've missed it, I hope somebody will post a link (just watch--it's probably on THIS thread and I've missed it!). Otherwise, I'd like to hear comments. "Drum is a Woman" has often provoked a fair amount of comment! greg mo Quote
jazzbo Posted July 31, 2009 Report Posted July 31, 2009 The alternates of "Indigoes" are from the mono lp. . . the sound on this and ADIAW is quite good. I really like "A Drum is A Woman" . . . just fun stuff. I'd love to see the "broadcast" one day, probably never will. Quote
kh1958 Posted July 31, 2009 Report Posted July 31, 2009 I picked up one I had missed in the oldies.com Fantasy sale--Berlin '65 - Paris '67. Four tracks from the Berlin concert and six from the Paris concert--the latter concert at the Salle Pleyel is the reason to get this one, with the group sounding inspired, and the Paris concert is well-recorded.

I think there are a couple of other extra tracks on Indigoes as well as those from the mono release. Both cds are definitely worth getting. Sony should have put them out officially. I believe there are extant copies of ADIAW but that they are in black and white. You might be able to see it at one of the Museums of Broadcasting. (I remember seeing it when it was first broadcast but it was before we had colour tv in my area. Edited July 31, 2009 by medjuck Quote

I always liked the Indigos album. You're right--Sony should have put them out, especially ADIAW, since it was reportedly all ready to go. greg mo Quote
tranemonk Posted January 24, 2010 Report Posted January 24, 2010 This really is a great thread... As I mentioned in my other post... Just ordered the Private Collection Vols. 6-10 as a box for $30.00.. :cool: I'm assuming it will be great.. not to mention that it's disappearing.... Quote
jazzbo Posted January 24, 2010 Report Posted January 24, 2010 (edited) You'll be happy. Those Private Sessions have been around forever on cd it seems. I bet they come back. Edited January 24, 2010 by jazzbo Quote
brownie Posted May 8, 2011 Report Posted May 8, 2011 76 minutes of a concert from the November 1963 tour of the Middle East http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUAZT4-ufuA No indication of where or when this was broadcast. Probably taped in Beirut (because of the mix of French and arabic titles) near the end of the tour. Don't miss Billy Strayhorn playing 'Lush Life' at the end of the video (and Sam Woodyard blowing a kiss to Strayhorn at the end of the solo!). Quote
medjuck Posted May 8, 2011 Report Posted May 8, 2011 Anyone here live near Marlborough MA? There's any amazing auction of Ellington memorabilia taking place there this week. http://www.skinnerinc.com/discovery-auction.php?fam=9&type=latest Quote
alankin Posted May 8, 2011 Report Posted May 8, 2011 Anyone here live near Marlborough MA? There's any amazing auction of Ellington memorabilia taking place there this week. http://www.skinnerinc.com/discovery-auction.php?fam=9&type=latest You can download the PDF catalog, but unfortunately it isn't illustrated although there's five photos on their web site.

alankin Posted May 8, 2011 Report Posted May 8, 2011 In doing some more looking, it is possible to see images of all the auction items here: http://www.skinnerinc.com/asp/searchresults.asp?st=D&t=7074253&shopper=&shop_highlight=& Quote
brownie Posted May 9, 2011 Report Posted May 9, 2011 There are a number of interesting items in that auction list. Hope they get in proper hands! Quote
king ubu Posted July 9, 2011 Author Report Posted July 9, 2011 Anyone knows about this set of 10 hours worth of V-Disc shows by Ellington? Legit? Sound quality? Never heard of this label! http://www.radioarchives.com/Date_with_the_Duke_p/ra158.htm Quote
alankin Posted July 9, 2011 Report Posted July 9, 2011 (edited) A quick search shows that these are AFRS re-broadcasts, mostly compiled from a number of domestic broadcasts from the ABC and Blue Networks. I wonder if these overlap the Treasury shows? This link has information on some of them. There may also be some information in the DEMS Bulletins. Edited July 9, 2011 by alankin Quote
king ubu Posted July 9, 2011 Author Report Posted July 9, 2011 Thanks - has to be further investigated then... didn't consider possible overlap with the DETS releases yet! Quote
