Description

DUKE ELLINGTON AND HIS COTTON CLUB ORCHESTRA play two strikingly original pieces, the red-hot  "JAZZ LIPS" by Duke, and the bluesy "SLOPPY JOE," by clarinetist Barney Bigard.  This was one of the few times Bigard got solo credit for one of his tunes.  


This original early '30s "Buff" Bluebird B-6396, a cross-coupling of Victor sides from March and November, 1929, is in clean E- condition; both sides are master-pressed.

These records come from my private collection, which I have been accumulating since 1967, and now am downsizing!  My highest priority in these eBay auctions is to give you the best possible idea of a record’s true condition and aesthetic value.  I always post at least four clear images, showing the record fore and aft, a close-up of the label, and the whole disc, warts and all.  If my purple prose won’t cut it, the pictures will!  Shipping is done with expert care. Your record will brave Media Mail in a stout corregated box, between four sheets of cardboard and a couple of “packers.”  I hope you are amused by these descriptions, and by the quality of service being offered.
