[Dixielandjazz] Duke's D.J Special

[Brian Harvey]

 I have just received for review and broadcast on the Hot Jazz Channel
(www.radiojazz.co.uk) an excellent newly released CD on the Fresh Sounds
label titled "The Duke's D. J. Special" and wondered if fellow list members
can shed any light on why Duke made it?

As each of the (excellent!) twelve tracks is only around three minutes which
would seem that it was aimed at broadcasters? But that is unusual for the
Duke at this time (1959) of his career.

Any help would be appreciated.

Brian Harvey.
