    New (Old) Jazz....

    This article in the WSJ tells of three of the better releases this past year....

    ...along with this 1951 Ellington release reviewed by Michael Fremer....

    I heard some Duke Ellington on XM radio yesterday. It was awesome. I do not recall tune name.

    A true jazz legend.

        Thanks, Bill. I couldn't read the WSJ article, as I refuse to sign up for a subscription just to read the news. But I just ordered the Ellington album on SACD as a blind purchase. High hopes for it.

          If you don't thoroughly enjoy it, I will buy it from you for what it cost you.

            Not sure what's going on, but I can't get it to play in my universal disc player. When I put it in, the front panel says "NO MULTICHANNEL AUDIO" and doesn't respond to any commands to play or anything. Not even any option to choose the CD layer. I'm guessing has something to do with being (AFAIK) my first mono SACD. I can still try out the CD in a different player.

              Aha... figured out a setting in my player, and took a listen to the SACD layer. I like. Smooth and classic. Got to listen to my "Lee Morgan - the Sidewinder" SACD too. Good stuff.

                So glad you got it figured out!

                I thought you would like it.

                I recently ordered the vinyl version, but alas, it is on back-order.....
