Digesting the music of Duke Ellington's revolutionary "jungle" period is a complicated pursuit because he recorded multiple arrangements for a number of labels between 1927 and 1932. Sony owns his OKeh and Columbia cuts (found on these two CDs), BMG owns his Victor sides, and Decca owns his Brunswick and Vocalion work (issued on the three-CD Early Ellington). All of them contain readings of standout compositions like "Black and Tan Fantasy," "East St. Louis Toodle-oo," "Black Beauty," "The Mooche," "Mood Indigo," and "Rockin' in Rhythm." The OKeh package lacks versions of "Solitude" and "Creole Love Call," but offers some noteworthy exclusives: superb solo stride-piano versions of "Black Beauty" and "Swampy River"; Jabbo Smith's wonderful trumpet solo on a 1927 version of "Black and Tan Fantasy" as a game-day replacement for "indisposed" co-composer Bubber Miley; and the first recording of "The Mooche," with Miley in control and guitarist Lonnie Johnson augmenting an already formidable lineup that includes Tricky Sam Nanton, Barney Bigard, Harry Carney, and Johnny Hodges. Even when a star like trumpet-growl pioneer Miley moved on, Cootie Williams would more than fill the gap. Musically, Ellington brought jazz to new levels of sophistication, complexity, and emotional depth during this first great period, synthesizing the classic New Orleans sound with a vibrant theatrical element and a dynamic rhythmic impulse. --Marc Greilsamer

First I think we have to get our criticisms, if we are going to make so many, accurate as technically as possible. The set is mainly kicked into the long grass because it is `fuzzy' , `muted' , `no clarity', `no high tones', `no drums' ,`drained presence and warmth' and `pitch problem'. These send our reviewers into outrage, `intolerable', `atrocious', `appalled' and `disgrace' to start with.
Well, what do we make of these criticisms? First, the sessions are mainly none of these things because the re-mastering on Sony/Columbia by CEDAR has scoured, filleted and emptied the original 78 sound in order to get rid of hiss, snap, crackle and pop. So the single criticism `drained presence and warmth' I would certainly go with.
The best example of this is to listen to Disc 1 tracks 7, 8 and 9 (`Sweet Mama', `Stack O'Lee Blues' and `Bugle Call Rag') and compare them with Nick Dellow's re-mastering on Paul Swinton's magnificent set for Frog - `The Washingtonians'. There is a considerable amount of hiss on these but the spirit and life of the originals have been gloriously maintained and projected.
Equally anything done by Steven Lasker and Steve Backer for BMG/RCA/GRP using Sonic-No Noise Solutions on `The Complete Brunswick & Vocalion Recordings 1926-1931 on Columbia and now on Verve, `The Best of Early Ellington' and `Early Ellington 1927-1934' seem to be seriously better than the CEDAR tracks for the same reason.
However, here comes the surprise. You can have back on the Okeh tracks all the hiss, snap, crackle and pop that you want, and you can tease out and re-discover all those same warm tones and enormously forceful projections that you get elsewhere. The problem is that the Okeh package has gone for a tinny-thin unappetising default which works within the parameters that the technicians have set themselves. They have set out a one-size or one-sound fits all philosophy. You can hear this best if you find the missing track on Disc 2 track 10 `Ragamuffin Romeo' (not published here and never covered in the US because of unaccountable technical problems). This is an ugly, brash and uncompromisingly hiss-full sound which they didn't want and which their technical standards refused to admit.
You can recover Ellington proper - certainly through Disc 2 which is full of wonderful music, if you simply delve into your Equalizer (I'm talking about a Sennheiser in a Sansa MP3) and re-set the Okeh pack to `Bass Boost' - which re-charges the full range of bass, brass and `bottom' including rhythm and Ellington on perky piano. Better than this, go to `Custom' and re-set the whole thing to bring out the colourful timbres you want. They are there waiting to be stimulated into life. A little more hiss, yes, but also those subtleties and sonorities you have been looking for.
So redeemed? Not quite, since if you're out jogging it's going to be awfully annoying re-setting each track on the Custom Equalizer before you listen. But if you have the time and passion it's worth the bother. So a smack on the wrist for Michael Brooks, Tim Geelan and Larry Kayes at Sony certainly - they have to coin a phrase, been plain lazy. But all is not lost for the Ellington fan - and this set is ridiculously cheap at least 'used'. I think four stars is nearer the mark.
Je n'ai réellement découvert le Jazz que récemment et ce disque est devenu un de mes disques de chevet. Il apporte l'essentiel d'une période où Duke Ellington était à son sommet en tant que compositeur et comme interprête, alors qu'il était l'un des membres essentiels de la légendaire communauté des jazzmen de Harlem et qu'il se produisait au non moins légendaire Cotton Club.
Duke Ellington est un musicien essentiel car à la différence de nombreux interprètes de Jazz, il a aussi contribué à créer de nombreux standards, tout en travaillant continuellement leur intérprétation. Les multiples versions de "East St Louis Toodle-do-Oo présente dans ce coffret illustrent parfaitement ces deux facettes de son génie.
Un monument de l'histoire de la musique.
