Downtown L.A. Jazz

~ Release by Duke Ellington & His Orchestra (see all versions of this release, 1 available)

Annotation

Additional:
Last track title is too long to fit is:
Ellington Medley: Don't Get Around Much Anymore / Do Nothin' Till You Hear From Me / In A Sentimental Mood / Mood Indigo / I'm Beginning To See The Light / Sophisticated Lady / Caravan / Satin Doll / Just Squeeze Me / It Don't Mean A Thing If You (sic) Ain't Got That Swing / Solitude / Don't Get Around Much Anymore
Last item is a mixture of "I Let A Song Go Out Of My Heart" and "Don't Get Around Much Anymore". Obviously, "It Don't Mean A Thing If You Ain't Got That Swing" is a typo.

"Sonet In Search Of Amour" (on the sleeve) is a typo of "Sonnet In Search Of A Moor" and is wrong anyhow. The tune actually is "Such Sweet Thunder".

Release and recording educated guesses:
Label name is something like "Dressed To Kill, Metrodome".
Catalog #: 371
EAN: 0666629133125

From Duke's announcements: band includes Clark Terry, Ray Nance, Quentin Jackson and Jimmy Hamilton, and the female vocalist is Lil Greenwood.
Obviously the same release as the 1959 Paris Concert (September 20, Salle Pleyel) on Affinity/Charly ("Live in Paris 1959").
First issued on BYG LPs (2035/2036).
Then on 2xLP Affinity AFF-28 (see DEMS 81/2-7).
CD issue with stripped out Ellington Medleys as "The Great Duke Ellington" on:
The Collection OR-0022 (see DEMS 88/1-2)
Hollywood Nites HNC-0010 (see DEMS 88/4-5)
