Fw: [Dixielandjazz] early Ellington recording.......

[Craig Johnson]

I sent the following to Kay Norton at ASU, after I realized my
initial transmission went to the acjs pres. instead.
I also sent mp3 files of the 3 recordings cited in the following note.
I never located a Nov. recording, but the 3 here show the
evolution of Dreamy Blues to Mood Indigo, which I believe
was the object of Dr. Schuller.

| | >     Gunther Schuller is a visiting prof at ASU and will be talking
about
| | early Ellington recordings in my class April 22.  He particularly wants
a
| | recording of Mood Indigo that was done on November 21, 1930.  He
specified
| matrix
| | number 64811.  If you know anyone who has that one OR the one done on
| December
| | 10, 1930, could you let me know?  Many thanks for any help you might
give.
