While most of the 51 tunes (1) performed here are Ellington standards/. favorites, there are also several rarely performed/recorded numbers, such as Walking With MY Honey, Court Session, Solid Old Man and Hop, Skip & Jump.

Are radio broadcast performances from the Spring and Fall of 1945, made at theatres and military installations in the eastern and mid-western U.S., where Duke Ellington was not only out to please his audience, but also raise money for the war effort (WWII was still on) by selling bonds via the radio broadcasts. The repertoire is mostly Ellington hits from the 40’s, plus some from the 30’s – all tailored to please the live audience (including the folks who wanted to dance) as well as the radio audience. The genre is solid Ellington swing, including some dance tunes. The many vocals included here (mainly by Joya Sherill) gave consolation to the audience during the war years. As is normally the case with Duke Ellington, even though one has heard the same tune many times, it is performed completely differently each time so that one never tires of hearing it. This music shows Duke Ellington in his prime, and is an important addition to the collection of Ellington fans. Of the 40 tunes on this double-CD, Sunny Side of The Street, Cotton Tail, Harlem Air Shaft and Warm Valley are among the best. The sound quality has been enhanced greatly through re-mastering.

///////

Se trata de actuaciones retransmitidas por radio en la primavera y el otoño de 1945, realizadas en teatros e instalaciones militares del este y el medio oeste de EE.UU., donde Duke Ellington no sólo pretendía complacer a su público, sino también recaudar fondos para el esfuerzo bélico (la Segunda Guerra Mundial aún estaba en marcha) mediante la venta de bonos a través de las retransmisiones radiofónicas. El repertorio se compone principalmente de éxitos de Ellington de los años 40, más algunos de los años 30, todos ellos diseñados para complacer al público en directo (incluida la gente que quería bailar), así como a la audiencia de la radio. El género es swing Ellington sólido, incluyendo algunas melodías de baile. Las numerosas voces incluidas aquí (principalmente de Joya Sherill) sirvieron de consuelo al público durante los años de la guerra. Como suele ocurrir con Duke Ellington, aunque uno haya oído la misma melodía muchas veces, cada vez se interpreta de forma completamente diferente, de modo que uno nunca se cansa de oírla. Esta música muestra a Duke Ellington en su mejor momento, y es una importante adición a la colección de los fans de Ellington. De las 40 melodías de este doble CD, Sunny Side of The Street, Cotton Tail, Harlem Air Shaft y Warm Valley se encuentran entre las mejores. La calidad del sonido ha mejorado mucho gracias a la remasterización.

The three sessions here were recorded in N.Y.C. in 1945 – 2 live sessions (Apollo Theatre and Zanzibar Club) plus one studio session (Radio City Music Hall). The 143 minutes (44 tunes) of music on this double-CD have never been released before. The repertoire is classic Ellington/Strayhorn material – including one Strayhorn medley and two suites (”Trio In Blue” and ”Perfume Suite”) - plus several tunes which were never recorded commercially. Recorded at the end of WWII, the purpose of these three programs – besides providing wonderful music – was to promote the sale of U.S. Treasury bonds to help the war effort. A major attribute of this double-CD is the inclusion of several tunes that Ellington never recorded commercially, like ”Fickle Fling”, ”Hollywood Hangover” and ”I’d Do It All Over Again”. The great musicianship and enthusiasm of Ellington’s orchestra includes countless fine solos – especially with Johnny Hodges and Rex Stewart – and features some great vocals by Al Hibbler, Kay Davis and Joya Sherrill.

Las tres sesiones se grabaron en Nueva York en 1945: dos en directo (Apollo Theatre y Zanzibar Club) y una en estudio (Radio City Music Hall). Los 143 minutos (44 temas) de música de este doble CD no se han publicado nunca antes. El repertorio es material clásico de Ellington/Strayhorn, incluyendo un popurrí de Strayhorn y dos suites ("Trio In Blue" y "Perfume Suite"), además de varios temas que nunca se grabaron comercialmente. Grabados al final de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, el propósito de estos tres programas -además de ofrecer una música maravillosa- era promover la venta de bonos del Tesoro de EE.UU. para ayudar al esfuerzo bélico. Un atributo importante de este doble CD es la inclusión de varias melodías que Ellington nunca grabó comercialmente, como "Fickle Fling", "Hollywood Hangover" y "I'd Do It All Over Again". La gran musicalidad y entusiasmo de la orquesta de Ellington incluye innumerables buenos solos -especialmente con Johnny Hodges y Rex Stewart- y cuenta con algunas grandes voces de Al Hibbler, Kay Davis y Joya Sherrill.

From the earliest days of the band, the Ellington Orchestra had ties to New England. In April 1924, they performed in Salem, Massachusetts during a period when the Hollywood Club was closed down due to one of their "fires." Another "fire" in February 1925, gave them the opportunity to perform in Haverhill, Massachusetts. The band had extended tours in the region in the summers of 1926 and 27. The 1926 tour was significant in that it was the first documented time that Boston born Harry Carney performed with the band. In May 1928, Cambridge Massachusetts native Johnny Hodges joined the band. In the ensuing years, sometimes there would be quick trips to Connecticut or Boston, or sometimes more extensive touring of the New England countryside. In August 1940, they appeared at Canobie Lake Park in Salem, New Hampshire, of which there are recordings from radio broadcasts. Symphony Hall in Boston was the site of the second performance of Black, Brown and Beige. During the months of July and August 1945, the Ellington Orchestra did extensive touring of New England, performing in many of the out-of-the-way places. Boston native Paul Gonsalves joining the band and the triumphs at the Newport Jazz Festival lay in the future. For now, let us turn to the July 14, 1945 broadcast in Boston

Desde los primeros días de la banda, la Orquesta Ellington estuvo vinculada a Nueva Inglaterra. En abril de 1924, actuaron en Salem, Massachusetts, durante un periodo en el que el Hollywood Club estaba cerrado debido a uno de sus "incendios". Otro "incendio" en febrero de 1925, les dio la oportunidad de actuar en Haverhill, Massachusetts. La banda realizó extensas giras por la región en los veranos de 1926 y 27. La gira de 1926 fue significativa porque fue la primera vez documentada que Harry Carney, nacido en Boston, actuó con la banda. En mayo de 1928, Johnny Hodges, natural de Cambridge Massachusetts, se unió a la banda. En los años siguientes, a veces hacían viajes relámpago a Connecticut o Boston, y otras veces hacían giras más extensas por la campiña de Nueva Inglaterra. En agosto de 1940, actuaron en el Canobie Lake Park de Salem, New Hampshire, de lo que existen grabaciones de emisiones radiofónicas. El Symphony Hall de Boston fue el escenario de la segunda actuación de Black, Brown and Beige. Durante los meses de julio y agosto de 1945, la Orquesta de Ellington realizó una extensa gira por Nueva Inglaterra, actuando en muchos de los lugares más recónditos. Paul Gonsalves, nativo de Boston, se unió a la banda y los triunfos en el Festival de Jazz de Newport quedaron para el futuro. Por ahora, volvamos a la emisión del 14 de julio de 1945 en Boston
