5.0 out of 5 stars Second volume of Ellington at Cotton Club, December 20, 2007
This review is from: Cotton Club 2 1938 (Audio CD)
Classical performances; second volume of Cotton Club, Vol. 1: 1938; if it gets reissued (preferably as a double CD pack), do get it, you won't be sorry...
The songs on this volume are

1. Echoes of Harlem (Ellington)
2. Prelude in "C" Sharp Minor (S. Rachmaninoff)
3. If Dreams Come True (Sampson.-Goodman)
4. Harmony in Harlem (Ellington-Hodges)
5. It's the Dreamer in Me (Van Heusen - J. Dorsey)
6. Ev'ry Day (Carney-Ellington)
7. Three Blind Mice (PD)
8. On the Sunny Side of the Street (Fields-McHugh)
9. Dinah's in A jam (Ellington)
10. If Dreams Come True (Sampson-Goodman)
11. Lost in Meditation (Elington-Tizol- Singer)
12 Rockin' in Rhythm (Ellington-Carney)

For the full crew see the tags; small group on 6 th song consists of Rex Stewart, Juan Tizol, Bigard, Carney, Ellington, Billy Taylor (b) and Sonny Greer (dm)...

Some of the songs appear more than once on this great album divided into vol. 1 & 2, but the versions are quite different. Since this is a live performance there are a few dumb crowd-pleasers and stock-arrangements, but most of the music is top class Ellington, live, swinging and waiting for your CD player to ressurect it...
