I don't have the time to let that happen now, but it certainly has before...one time with Duke it lasted for about six weeks, NOTHING but Ellington all day and all night and entailed not only listening to what I already had, but making runs to the records stores every few day to pick up a new thing or two. I've had it happen with other artists too, the extended lock-out of anything but their work, but it has happened more times and for longer durations with Duke than with anybody else. There's so much there, and it's all, at the very least, pretty damn good. Quote
jazzbo Posted October 7, 2019 Report Posted October 7, 2019 Yes, it happens to me most with Duke as well. And there is so much to listen to . . . over and over. And as you say it's all at least pretty good! Now on to Duke Ellington & His Orchestra "Jazz at the Plaza" Sony Japan cd. Quote

Larry Willis 2 hours ago, jazzbo said: One Ellington leads to another, which often happens. A single disc from that '56 to '62 Columbia period snags me into a long series of disc after disc of Ellington at times. Not a bad thing to happen. 1 hour ago, JSngry said: I don't have the time to let that happen now, but it certainly has before...one time with Duke it lasted for about six weeks, NOTHING but Ellington all day and all night and entailed not only listening to what I already had, but making runs to the records stores every few day to pick up a new thing or two.

This was issued on the Definitive series as Deep Purple, which I have. Only one extra track, "Claude of Mine". But then there is a Japanese reissue this year, with Ghost of a Chance, Candy, Solitude and Nearness of You as additional tracks. No clue where those tracks came from ... Anyway ... fine music! Quote

jazzbo Posted October 7, 2019 Report Posted October 7, 2019 Now on to something completely different: my first listen of the remix of "The White Album." I can remember hearing this album when I first arrived at boarding school in M'Babane. Never was a huge Beatles fan but liked some of this album more than most of other Beatles albums. Remix is interesting. . . won't replace the original but a nice new window to look this material. Quote
