next set, all songs that I wanted to include in the Ellington show last week - this was the title track to the Shakespeare suite Ellington preimiered at the Stratford festival in 1957, this piece was inspired by Othello |
| Duke Ellington v/ Ivie Anderson |
Jump for Joy |
Ivie Anderson Cocktail Hour |
Columbia River |
this came from Ellington's 1941, show Jump for Joy, which he called "the first social significance show; I didn't include it b/c I just ran out of time |
| Duke Ellington v/ Herb Jeffires |
Flamingo |
The Blanton-Webster Band |
RCA |
I wanted to include this b/c I didn't have anything with vocalist Herb Jeffries; it didn't make the cut b/c it wasn't written by Ellington |
| Duke Ellington Orchestra |
Ring Dem Bells |
The Duke |
Columbia |
I wanted to include this just b/c I love it, but already had a whole set of his music from the 20s |
| Duke Ellington v/ Ivie Anderson |
The Five O'Clock Whistle |
The Blanton-Webster Band |

this is a famous performance of this song, but again, Ellington wasn't the composer |

c. Billy Strayhorn; excluding this was difficult, I wanted to do a whole set about Ellington's collaboration with Strayhorn |

I adore this song, but already had several Ivie Andereson tracks & Ellington wasn't the composer |
