nice article; my only comment is that, to my knowledge, Duke HAD done a piano album for Capitol (which was reissued much later) - am I wrong?

Thanks milkman for the post of the DB story. Amazing insight on the session itself (Ellington chasing Mingus up the Avenue!) as well as money jungle’s hefty influence on and respect from musicians active 50+ years after the session tracks were laid down. With no rehearsal. Naturally.

Thank you for this article. Of course, Alan Douglas did not produce a Blue Note album; he produced a United Artists album.
