[Dixielandjazz] The Jungle Band (was Ivie Anderson/Ellington)

[Ron L]

Funny, Shiek, I'd be more inclined to think that the diehard B/L/J/fans
would be more inclined to like the early Ellington than say the 40s and
especially post 40s Ellington recordings.

For the information of folks not acquainted with the early Ellingtons,
they're considerably different from the later stuff. The die hard
Bix/Louis/Jelly (no criticism implied) fans well may not like them, but
those with broader tastes in Jazz ought to try 'em. Naxos (available from
Jerry Brown) has 3 knowledgeable compilations with good sound, and they're
cheap.
