I finally purchased a copy of the Ellington at Newport 1956 (Complete) CD, which prompts several observations. So many, in fact, that I may have to post them separately for all you readers out there who don't like those big blocky paragraphs of mine. Two main and somewhat related thoughts: 1) the hairsplitting liner notes on this excellently produced reissue would make any OCD-disordered science fiction fan proud (it's an OCD CD, har har); 2) the whole issue of the "artificially generated concert" that made up the original release of this recording belongs in a Philip K. Dick novel. More science fiction! I wonder if PKD, who was a serious music fan, ever knew the story behind this. |
