Matrix: B12774 D


Adelaide Hall with Duke Ellington and His Famous Orchestra

New Desor DE3301d

Recorded Jan. 7, 1933, ARC session, NYC


The last Brunswick recording session with the Duke was actually in 1931. Brunswick stopped doing its own sessions from December 3, 1931 when ARC was taking over its operations and stable of labels. This take, Take D, was not released by ARC at the time, although it was released on Blu-Disc 5001. This unusual label dates from 1955 or later; that was when Columbia introduced the "Walking Eye" logo faintly seen at the top of the image. It would be interesting to know why Columbia would press a 78 rpm record when 45s and LPs were already well established.

Mr. Field's webpage says there were two takes of this souvenir record made when Ellington first visited England. The label is gold and orange label but it doesn't scan well. This record is Duke being interviewed by P. Mathieson Brooks, editor of the ‘Melody Maker.’ The recording was made for ‘Levy’s – the Home of Music’, a specialist record shop in Whitechapel, London. To get the disc, you had to buy ten Ellington records from Levy’s in one go

On July 24, the band travelled to Holland, playing two concerts there on July 25. Their whereabouts on July 26 is not documented by Stratemann, but they arrived in Paris the evening of July 27, playing concerts at Salle Pleyel on July 27, 29 and August 1. They embarked from Cherbourg, France, on August 3, on Majestic, bound for New York. Upon arrival, they began a series of one-nighters, returning to the Brunswick studio for the final record date under their current contract, on August 15.

This strange recording, including Ellington's odd lyric, includes clarinet solos by Bigard and Carney. It's hard to tell, but Carney may be playing an alto clarinet or basset horn for his solo.
