Duke Ellington: The Treasury Shows Vol. 3

Duke Ellington: The Treasury Shows Vol. 3

This is Vol. 3 of a long series of releases of the complete Treasury Broadcasts from the mid forties. Contracted by the U.S. Treasury Dept. in 1945, Duke Ellington And His Orchestra performed a series of public service radio broadcasts to arouse patriotism and sell war bonds to help the U.S. military defeat the Japanese to end World War 2. Besides performing music which was already well known his own as well as others' Ellington uses the programs presented here to test, check and refine new material, such as the tunes "Blutopia" and "Carnegie Blues." It's very lucky that these precious, well recorded radio broadcasts have survived. They represent an important, yet elusive, period in the evolution of jazz namely, the mid 40's. This 2 CD set features several star performers Johnny Hodges, Rex Stewart, AI Sears, Joya Sherrill and AI Hibbler, among others and especially trombonist Lawrence Brown.

Leif Juul Jørgensen: The Danish Jazz Quartet - Just Jazz

Leif Juul Jørgensen: The Danish Jazz Quartet - Just Jazz

Leif Juul Jørgensen is back on the jazz scene. From time to time he's been less active, but through his musical career he has been a member as a Clarinet player of Arnvid Meyers Orchestra and more lately Theis/Nyegaard Jazz Band. Furthermore he has performed with Bud Freeman, Vic Dickenson and Edmond Hall. He has now formed a new quartet, The Danish Jazz Quartet , featuring legends from the Danish jazz scene: Søren Kristiansen (piano), Jesper Lundgaard (double bass) and Alex Riel (Drums). Just Jazz , which is the quartet's first, delivers sparkly renditions of standards. The quartet plays with a surplus of elegance, enthusiasm and experience that comes from a full life in the service of jazz. There is room for the personalities of the musicians to shine forth in a lively and mature interplay. The music was performed live in Silkeborg, Denmark in April 2014 and is engineered and produced by Jesper Lundgaard.

Art Tatum Live: Volume One 1934-1944

Art Tatum Live: Volume One 1934-1944

This is the first of a nine-volume 18-track set, comprised primarily of previously unissued performances by the legendary jazz pianist, Art Tatum. This CD covers the years 1934 (the first year Tatum recorded) to 1944, with Tatum performing in solo, trio and quartet contexts. Most of the music (which is from the 40's) was produced for the Armed Forces Radio Service, who broadcast to the U.S. military during World War II. Besides the eight solo tunes, which include some of Tatum's first recordings from 1934, there are early tracks with Tatum's own famous trio, plus five tunes with the legendary jazz guitarist, Les Paul. The discovery of this unknown music by the greatest jazz pianist of all time is the musical equivalent of finding previously unpublished plays by William Shakespeare. While the tracks here are from the earlier part of Tatum's career, his astonishing technique and creative brilliance, his strong stride piano, blinding speed and virtuoso arpeggios, are all impressively showcased here.Featuring Slam Stewart and Clinton Nordquist on bass. Les Paul, Tiny Grimes and Clavin Goodin on guitar.
