This promotional short for Irving Mills' short-lived Master and Variety labels not only gives us a glimpse of Ellington and his band in the actual Master/Variety studios (as opposed to a soundstage set), but is one of the very few film accounts of how records were recorded, plated and pressed in the long-ago age of analog, shellac and 78 rpm. Narration is provided by pioneer radio announcer Alois Havrilla.

Encoded by lfbarfe! Watching the Duke Ellington Jazz 65 show (kindly encoded by Mr lfbarfe), I was VERY taken with the performance of Isfahan, from the "Far East Suite." I've chopped it out to share on YouTube, partly so I can keep it handy. Hope you enjoy it. Johnny Hodge's playing is extraordinarily beautiful, very warm and emotive. If you like this, then check out Demonoid for the full thing.

Duke Elington et son orchestre it don't mean a thing

FOR MORE EPICLY LATER'D VISIT: http://www.vbs.tv/player.php?bccl=NDEyNDcwMTU1X19FVEM= Erik is all around the coolest person I have ever met. The way he looks, the way he skates, the way he pushes--he's just a straight-up cool man. I remember meeting him on the first Baker tour. Jay Strickland, Scotty Copalman, Trainwreck, Knox Godoy, as well as all the people that still skate for Baker were on that trip. It was a mess. It was like the heyday of the Pissdrunx. I couldn't sleep because we put 15 people in 3 hotel rooms and you never knew when Erik or Trainwreck were going to wake you up to fight you. It was really kind of scary. But anyway, as much of a pile that Erik seems like from a distance (or when he's drunk), he's actually a very smart and thoughtful person. Did you know he invented the Hand Board? It's like a giant finger board that Tech Deck makes and every time Toys R Us sells one of those stupid things dude gets a dollar. He's secretly pretty shrewd. Right now he's got a sunglasses company and owns part of Supra Shoes.... seriously, he's a darkman in disguise. In the end though, it all comes back to skateboarding, and Erik is first and foremost an incredible skateboarder, carving his own niche in a crowded world. Any time a video comes out with new Ellington footage, I'm glued to the screen.

This is an exceptional showcase recording of Duke Ellington & His Cotton Club Orchestra, made for Victor on April 13th, 1929. It recreates the atmosphere of a real concert situation at the Cotton Club. The band plays a medley, including: 1. Cotton Club Stomp 2. Misty Morning 3. Goin' To Town 4. Freeze And Melt

This was from 1965, and one of the very times I had ever seen Billy actually play with the band. Of course it's Take the "A" Train.

Duke Ellington and his orchestra performing Symphony in Black. Billie Holiday sings.

The great Duke and his orchestra. Sorry but after Jimmy Hamilton's playing everyone else should quit(including our friend kenny... no...just kidding!) P.S: U can check the other version I'd posted too.
