Thanks for this music, Ian. It’s especially great to hear another “Chinoiserie” and another “I Can’t Get Started.”
The intros to “Basin Street Blues,” especially the longer one on the Eastbourne LP, make me think that somewhere along the way Duke and company must have heard the Art Ensemble of Chicago.
Thanks for your comment, Michael. The intro to the Money Johnson numbers (unfortunately the announcer talked over Hello Dolly so I didn’t include it) may be a sly dig at the new jazz. I should have mentioned in the piece that for a ‘valedictory’ concert, we get a real panorama of jazz - the ODJB with Tiger Rag, nods to Louis and Johnny Coles on How High The Moon. Not quite A Drum Is A Woman - but not far off! Thanks again for your support.
