Been on an Ellington listening binge, just hopping around all eras. Just finished reading A Portrait of Duke Ellington by Derek Jewell and am getting in to The Duke Ellington Reader which has been sitting on my shelf for a while waiting for the right time. So i'm kind of immersed at the moment, and just loving it.

It's good that they spelled Boyd "Reaburn"'s name correctly on the back cover, at least.  Lucky Thompson is listed as a member of the Raeburn band, but he is not specifically featured on any one number (I guess a little, perhaps, on the Ray Linn Jazz Octet number), so it's a little misleading to post his name so prominently on the front cover.

Hooray for Johnny Lytle, an all too often overlooked master of the vibraphone!

Is this Nighthawk material?

I have a Gladiators LP - Serious Thing - and an LP - Dread Prophecy - where they back Ethiopian (Leonard Dillon). Both are on the Nighthawk label and both are great records.

Yes - Omnivore took over Nighthawk in 2017 and plans to reissue the Reagge sides .... beneath the Gladiators platter they brought to light an unreleased late 80's session by Ethopian titled "The Return of Jack Sparrow" - probably will try out this one too ...

Mable John: Stay Out of the Kitchen (Stax/Ace)

Hadn't listened to this in years. She recorded more good sides than I remembered.

Released definitely the heydays of archival soul releases .... beneath the great "1000`s of Volt" compilations the biggest surprise to me was the unreleased material by William Bell

Thanks for the heads up.
