Actually Greg found the cd, trying to figure out who he ordered it from.Lawrence wrote:This period includes my favorite Ellington songs (Jack... and Ko-Ko), which I've never found in a modern, Hi-Fi recording by Ellington. I do have a Big Band all-star (like a Big 18 gig) hi-fi recording of Jack the Bear, but nothing new on Ko-Ko. (That's why I was so shocked to hear the SWT Big Band at the Austin Exchange last year play Ko-Ko: never heard it so clear.)
I have that one, Jesse. (I think I shared it with you a few years back in SF.) Great CD. I'm pretty sure that the track list indicates merely that it was performed by "members of" Duke Ellington's Orchestra, not Duke Ellington. Same with "members of COunt Basie's Orchestra" on other tracks. Not sure what the difference is because, as you said, the liner notes don't exist. It seems to be another Big 18-type revival recording, not Duke and Basie, themselves, and not necessarily all of the supporting cast, either. Also, I listened to the clip of "Jack" off of the "Historically Speaking" version of Jack the Bear, and it is definitely a different version than this Big Band All-Star version.
