recorded 26th September 1952 at Rockland Palace, New York City, released 1961

not terrible but less than great bootleg sound...of a truly stunning gig

Love this album... just a relaxing, wonderful thing  :)




The man that hath no music in himself,
Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds,
Is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils.
The motions of his spirit are dull as night,
And his affections dark as Erebus.
Let no such man be trusted.

-- William Shakespeare, The Merchant of Venice

Good one.   8)    Hard to go wrong with Ellington.

That is very true in my admittedly limited experience of the Jazz world.

Cool. I have that on a double vinyl release; one being Mono and the other being the Stereo version.

Nice! I have it on two stereo CDs, one stereo SACD and one mono CD.

This record is one I play at least once a month.  I forget who it was (could have been Herbie Hancock) but they said about this record, it is "perfect" and people will be listening to it for hundreds of years, similar to Mozart and Beethoven.

I already loved Herbie, but I love him even more now.

Whoever it was I think that they were correct,
