song spotting
I turned on KKJZ over the weekend and suddenly this slamming tune knocks me over and out. I was driving and I kept saying "Duke? Duke? DUKE?" but I'd never heard this song in the Ellington canon before. The DJ finally mentioned the song title and artist. Does anybody own this album? This song alone, in my opinion, is worth the buy.
Blues For Duke, Lawrence Brown

This one time, at swing camp (ok, not really), I was playing a song from a Hodges / Davis LP for Kevin, and like 3 seconds into a trombone solo he was like "hey, is that Lawrence Brown?" .. talk about immediate recognition.CafeSavoy wrote:i have the cd, i think kevin T has it too. lawrence brown is a long time ellingtonian. it's a good cd.
Oh man I love that album, thoiugh I don't think I have ever played Blues for Duke. It just never got my motor running compared to the first cut Rose of the Rio Grand. There are only a few danceable songs on there but I think it is well worth the purchase even for just one song. (Not something I often do)
Here is the problem though, it's was a limited release and is now out of print. Silver Platters in Seattle still has one in stock and you can order it from them online.

I turned on KKJZ and Jon Hendricks was in the middle of an incredible live version of "Everybody's Boppin'". Turns out his co-singers were his daughter and Wynton Marsalis. Mindbogglingly enough, Marsalis is an amazing scat singer and totally held his own. Of course I am guessing nobody else cares about Lambert, Hendricks, and Ross...

I'm a huge fan of L, H & R, having most of their music as well as Jon Hendricks' solo recordings. Great stuff! They don't get much play by me at dances, though I have a particular affinity for their version of "Charleston Alley".julius wrote:Of course I am guessing nobody else cares about Lambert, Hendricks, and Ross...
