Description
HERE IS AN UNUSUAL ITEM, A 12 INCH ACETATE DISC RECORDED AT 33 1/3 RPM FEATURING DUKE ELLINGTON AND HIS ORCHESTRA, CHARLIE PARKER WITH STRINGS AND AHMAD JAMAL'S TRIO. THE DATE ON THE DISC IS NOVEMBER 1952 (I BELIEVE IT MUST BE FROM THE CARNEGIE HALL CONCERT OF NOVEMBER 14, 1952 WHERE ALL THREE GROUPS PERFORMED). THE DISC BEGINS WITH DUKE ELLINGTON INTRODUCING "MONOLOUGE" FEATURING HIS OWN VOICE. THIS IS FOLLOWED BY TWO NUMBERS COMBINED, "V.I.P. BOOGIE" AND "JAM WITH SAM" FEATURING SOLOS BY CLARK TERRY, BRITT WOODMAN, WILLIE COOK, QUENTIN JACKSON, PAUL GONSALVES, CAT ANDERSON AND JIMMY HAMILTON. A MEDLEY OF HITS FOLLOWS. SIDE TWO BEGINS WITH A FEATURE FOR LOUIS BELLSON AT THE DRUMS, "SKIN DEEP." THE AHMAD JAMAL TRIO FOLLOWS WITH, "THIS CAN'T BE LOVE," THEN CONCERT HOST BOB GARRITY INTRODUCES CHARLIE PARKER WITH STRINGS. PARKER PLAYS "JUST FRIENDS" AND "EASY TO LOVE." HIS RHYTHM SECTION INCLUDES WALTER BISHOP, JR. (WHO TAKES A SHORT SOLO), ROY HAYNES AND CANDIDO. THE SOUND APPEARS TO COME FROM A PROFESSIONAL LINE RECORDING AND IS VERY GOOD. THE CONDITION VARIES THROUGHOUT. MUCH OF THE DISC PLAYS WITH VERY LITTLE SURFACE NOISE BUT THERE ARE A NUMBER OF LIGHT TICKS HERE AND THERE. I WOULD SAY ABOUT 80-85% OF THE DISC IS FREE OF SCRATCHES BUT THERE ARE SOME AS NOTED. THE DISC PLAYS WITHOUT SKIPS OR REPEATS. THE ACETATE IS IN GOOD CONDITION (NO PEELING OR FLAKES). THE STARTING BID IS $49.99. PLEASE SEE MY OTHER LISTING FOR A VERY RARE AND SPECIAL CHARLIE PARKER/DIZZY GILLESPIE/LENNIE TRISTANO TAPE (SEARCH UNDER REEL-TO-REEL TAPES) AND A FEW RARE LUCKY THOMPSON ITEMS.
