couple of which were hard to find until the recent box sets. Black
beauty, Stormy Weather, Rockin' in Rhythm, Bundle Of Blues, Awful Sad,

starter collection for someone who has little early Ellington. Very nice
sound quality also for a 1990 master. This has been treated with the
Audioprism green pen for sound quality. Limelight/Decca UK 05922. $9.99

*** Duke Ellington - Greatest Hits - I've never been 100% certain what
this one was sourced from, but as it has several tracks from the 50's
Duke & Rosemary Clooney album & is on CBS I suspect it's 50's & 60's CBS
recordings. Clooney tracks includes I let A Song Go Out Of My Heart,
Sophisticated Lady, & I'm Checkin' Out Goombye; + instrumentals of
Solitude, Mood Indigo, Jeep's Blues, Prelude To A kiss, Satin Doll & 2
more. CBS SP 21512. $5.99

Switzerland 693238. $13.99
*** Duke Ellington - Cotton Club 1938 Volumes 1 & 2 (Netherlands issue)
- From the Masters Music collector's label; i believe this was the first
cd release of the 1938 acetates, & until the recent Storyville remaster
was also the best sounding version I was aware of. 24 songs, many with
Ivy Anderson: Rose Room, The Gal From Joe's, Dinah, On The Sunny Side Of
The Street, Rockin' in Rhythm, Lost In meditation & more. keep in mind
that despite my comments above, these are low quality recordings taken
off early am radio by an early acetate disc recorder. These have been
treated with the Audioprism green pen for sound quality. Masters
Netherlands 011222 & 011321. $9.99
*** Duke Ellington - At Newport - this is the original 1 cd release from
the 1956 concert. Features the classic Diminuendo & Crescendo In Blue
with Paul Gonzalves' solo. There was quite a bit of controversy in 2000
with the 2 cd reissue. In the reissue's booklet, Phil Schaap alleges
that this issue was largely re-recorded in the studio & that the new 2
cd version has the real concert. However, George Avakian who produced
the original recording has called that inaccurate. Either way, if you'd
like to own the version that you're familiar with, here's your chance!

*** Johnny Hodges - 4 Classic LPs: Castle Rock/In A Mellow Tone/Perdido/
Creamy (Sealed UK 2 cd set) - To the best of my knowledge, all 4 of
these LP's are out of print in the US. First, great music. It's 1951-55
Hodges & with Ellingtonians on much of the 2 cd's; nuff said. The
quality is quite acceptable. These are needle drops (I think that's all
Avid does?), but pretty well done. After purchasing my copy, I
discovered I also already had the Japan Verve cd release of Castle Rock.
Comparing the 2: Both are needle drops (I'm surprised Verve didn't have
a master tape). The Verve is better, but each has different
imperfections: The Verve sounds more natural but has more pops &
crackles. The Avid has virtually no pops, but does have some distortion
& quite a bit of background hiss; which is totally absent on the Japan
Verve. The Avid sounds way better then most budget UK needle drop jazz
reissue companies. 41 songs include Castle Rock, The Jeep is Jumping,
Jeep's Blues, In A Mellow Tone, Solitude, Come Sunday, Blues For Basie,
Rose Room, Ballad medley & more. Avid UK 199922. $15.99
*** Johnny Hodges - Rabbit's Blues (Sealed Germany issue) - 21 track
collection is very similar to a Proper Box cd called Castle Blues. We
suspect this is either late 40's and/or 50's material, but we're not
certain. Includes Sweet Lorraine, Castle Rock, The Jeep Is Jumpin', Day
Dream, Solitude, Wham, Good Queen Bess & more. Past Perfect Silverline
Germany 25743. $7.99 (2)
*** Erich Kunzel & Rochester Pops - Ties & Tails: Duke Ellington & George Gershwin - Classical/Pops interpretations of 3 pieces from each pianist/composer. Includes New World A Comin', Overture To Funny Face, Sophisticated Lady, Gershwin In Hollywood & more. Pro Arte 276. $5.99

17 tracks both with Reese & Ellington instrumentals: Sophisticated lady, Take The A
Train, Bye Bye Blackbird, A Foggy Day in London Town, Bill Bailey, Mood Indigo,
