Blues, Boogie, & Bop: The 1940s Mercury Sessions is a 7 CD set housed in a plastic old time radio shaped box. The theme of the set is the transitional music of that time - the shift from swing into bop and R & B. The Ellingtonians are represented in sessions led by cornetist Rex Stewart and trumpeter Cootie Williams. Also heard are Eddie “Cleanhead” Vinson (I love that name!), Buddy Rich, Helen Humes, Albert Ammons (with son Gene on tenor), Jay McShann, and more..... #DukeEllington #Ellington #podcast #jazzpodcast #itunes #stitcher #playerfm #CootieWilliams #RexStewart #AlbertAmmons #EddieCleanheadVinson #MercuryRecords #JayMcShann

New to the book shelf - “Sweet Thunder, Duke Ellington’s Music in Nine Themes.” It’s by Jack Chambers, who “explores the music of Duke Ellington by tracing nine themes through his amazinglhy productive 50-year career as composer, orchestrator, pianist, and cultural icon. Lifelong listeners to Ellington and new comers seeking an entry-point into Ellington’s voluminous works will find this book stimulating, and entertaining.” Dr. Chambers also wrote “Milestones: The Music and Times of Miles Davis,” a great biography of the trumpet legend. #Dukeellington #Ellington #podcast #jazzpodcast #itunes #stitcher #playerfm #lawrencebrown #catanderson #johnnyhodges #billystrayhorn #jazzbooks #bookshelf #shelfie #jackchambers
