Duke Ellington: The Treasury Shows Vol.22

In April 1945, to promote the sale of war bonds, the US Treasury Department contacted Duke Ellington to do a series of 55 min public broadcasts. These sessions would give Ellington a wide choice of material to perform including his older work; new instrumentals and pop tunes and his extended works as well. This double CD contains a series of different radio broadcasts from the Golden Gate Theatre in San Francisco and the famous Hurricane Restaurant in New York among others. The broadcasts are featured complete with radio speaks and encouragements to buy bonds read by The Duke himself + bonus material and extensive liner notes. CD1 contains a radio broadcast from the Golden Gate Theatre in San Francisco, recorded on August 3, 1946 with bonus tracks from a session at the Lakeside Park, El Patio Ballroom in Denver, July 1945, 1942. CD2 features a broadcast recorded at Meadowbrook, Culver City, California, August 17, 1946. Included are also three bonus tracks from a radio broadcast at the Hurricane Restaurant in New York City, August 21, 1943. This Treasury Shows addition was recorded amid tensions between the Duke and his record company, a large musician’s strike, the surprising deaths of several prominent band members and political events such as rising racial and social tension and World War II, all of which is meticulously explained in the extensive liner notes by Duke Ellington connoisseur and journalist Roger Boyes. The musical gift of the versatile Ellingtonians always prevails, however—as Boyes for example writes: “ Hodges’ solo [on A Flower is a Lovesome Thing] is three and-a-half minutes of pure melody, and in the unlikely even that you tire of that, Stryhorn’s accompaniment offers a parallel three-and-a-half minutes of great beauty ”. Duke Ellington and his Orchestra always deliver on energy, skill and rhythm.

Duke Ellington: At The Hurricane

Never before released, this hour of music (22 tunes), with Duke Ellington And His Famous Orchestra, is comprised of three radio broadcasts made during a six-month engagement at the Hurricane Club in New York City in 1943. (This engagement marked Ellington’s first New York club-gig since he played the Cotton Club in 1938.) Ellington’s band was at the height of its popularity and proficiency at this time, boasting many star soloists, including Ben Webster, Johnny Hodges, Sam Nanton, Rex Stewart, Ray Nance, Harry Carney, Lawrence Brown and the great vocalist Betty Roché. The musical repertoire consists primarily of Ellington’s and Billy Strayhorn’s greatest and most popular compositions. Ellington, himself, was very happy about the 6-month engagement at the Hurricane Club in New York City when these recordings were made, and was also very pleased by the overwhelming reception the fans gave his performances – all of which added to the exceptional high quality and enthusiasm which is so evident in the music on this CD. The orchestra is in top form, performing classic renditions of Ellington’s best music, including ”Don’t Get Around Much Anymore”, and ”What Am I Here For?”, and Betty Roché’s fantastic singing on ”I Don’t Know What Kind of Blues I’ve Got”.

The Boswell Sisters Collection

The Boswell Sisters inauspiciously launched their recording career in New Orleans, their hometown, on March 22, 1925, but their first release, I?m Gonna Cry and Nights When I?m Lonely didn?t shake any rafters. Early local appearances featured Connie, the eldest, on cello, Helvetia ("Vet") on violin, and Martha at the piano, but the city?s jazz environment made Connie and Vet switch to saxophone and banjo, respectively. At first, the singing was almost incidental, but it became their ticket to national attention five years later when they moved to New York and became a fixture on radio shows. The Boswell Sisters were notable for their tight harmony as well as their unique ability to modulate pitch and give familiar songs a new melodic twist. They were the cutting edge that inspired future groups, including The Andrews Sisters, who began their own career by emulating them, even down to their Southern accent.The exuberant sisters recorded a string of hits in the 1930s, sometimes teaming up with fellow vocalists, such as Bing Crosby and The Mills Brothers. Instrumental accompaniments are by some of the day?s most popular musicians and bands, including The Dorsey Brothers, Don Redman, Red Nichols, and Benny Goodman. Considering their popularity and impact, the sisters had a relatively brief run, disbanding in 1936 when Martha and Vel married outside of the music industry and decided to give priority to family life. Connie, however, continued and enjoyed a successful solo career.This boxed set contains the entire Boswell Sisters output of commercially released recordings?a remarkable set of performances that paved the way for the vocal trio genre. It also includes a bonus DVD featuring more extraordinary performances.
