The New DESOR corrections
We remind you that these corrections are merely suggestions. They
are not (yet) accepted by the authors of the New DESOR. Unsigned
suggestions were brought in by Hoefsmit.

Page 65. Session 4231, 19Nov42. The correct number of this
broadcast is "Coca Cola Spotlight Bands No 52".

Page 141. Session 4647, 10Nov46. In the old Desor you gave the
title Chaugogagog Maushaugagog Chaubunagunggamaug for the
first movement of "The Beautiful Indians" (407s). In the New DESOR
you have dropped that title and replaced it with Good Fishin'
(4647s). Where did you find the first full title? On the Prima LP are
three parts of "The Beautiful Indians": Chaugogogog Maushaugagog;
Minnehaha and Hiawatha. Why have you changed the title and
put it before and outside the Suite?
Sjef Hoefsmit
In the Italian magazine Musica Jazz of March 1947 was written that
"in a concert in Chicago DE played a tune with the Indian title
Chaugogagog Maushaugagog Chaubunagungamaug with T. Jordan as
soloist". We thought that this was the title of the tune that
preceded Minnehaha .
LP-Prima copied this title from our Old Desor.
In DEMS Bulletin 84/3-9 we found the correct sequence of the concert
and that the title played before Minnehaha was Good
Fishin'.
In MIMM (p190) DE talks of "The Beautiful Indians" as
Minnehaha and Hiawatha . Also on page 506, on the list
of compositions, only these two titles are mentioned as parts of the
suite.
I remember another source of information that says that on LP-Prima
we have the afternoon concert and that before "The Beautiful Indians"
was played Good Fishin'. I spent two days in search of this
source but I was not able to find it.
Luciano Massagli
Don't you think you should put Chaugogagog Maushaugagog
between parentheses after the title Good Fishin' and include
it in the list of sub-titles on page XXXIV?
Sjef Hoefsmit
Page 237. It has always puzzled me - the All Star Road Band
was recorded at a dance in Carroltown, Pa in June 1957, but the exact
date isn't shown in Stratemann or the New DESOR (5722), nor in the
liner notes for the Zillion CD from a few years ago.
Timner shows 1Jun57 which makes sense, being a Saturday.
Has anyone checked into this?
David Palmquist
According to the Duke Ellington Itinerary of Joe Igo, the Ebensburg
Mountaineer-Herald of 10Aug88 confirms the date of 1Jun57. This has
been accepted by Willie Timner and by Ken Vail. Can anybody check
this newspaper and see what it says?
By the way, we believe Carrolltown should not be spelled as Carroltown.
DEMS
Pages 248 and 249. Session 5809, 4Mar58. 5809ag is not
Wailing Interval but an encore of One O'Clock Jump.
There are a few corrections to be made concerning session 5810,
5Mar58. The end of the last selection in the New DESOR, 5810ag,
Dancing in the Dark, is very clearly connected (on my tape)
with the beginning of the first selection, 5810a, Where or
When. I also believe that the preceding Take the "A"
Train, 5810af is the first selection of the programme. The
connection with Dancing in the Dark is not totally convincing,
but Take the "A" Train starts without drums and at the
beginning some of the horn-players are tuning up their instruments.
It sounds very much like the start of the dance-date with a partly
empty stage.
On the SAJA CD of the Private Collection Volume 6 we have found a
short rendition of Mood Indigo during which Duke invites his
audience to take a coffee-break. It is between track 8, C-Jam
Blues, 5810j, and track 9, Blues in Orbit, 5809k.
It cannot be following C-Jam Blues, because that is clearly
connected with All Heart. I have put it after All
Heart, 5810k, and before I Let a Song Go Out of My Heart,
5810l. A position near the end of the programme is not very likely
since Duke said he would be back in a short while.
Page 283. Session 5938, 3Dec59. The personnel listing suggest
that Duke and Billy both played the piano in Smada. I hear
only Billy.
Page 289. Session 6016, 26Jun60. To give a correct answer on
the Duke-Lym list, I watched the video recording of this session and
I noticed that Juan Tizol was not sitting in the trombone section
although a fourth chair and music-stand were there. I do not have a
contract of the American Federation of Musicians of this date to
check his presence.
Pages 509 and 1179. I was lucky to find a copy on two CDs of
the 11Sep68 Montevideo concert. I detected one selection which is not
mentioned in the New DESOR. Between the Medley (6847l) and Kinda
Dukish (6847m) the band played the theme of Take the "A"
Train at the start of the second half of the programme while
waiting for Duke to appear. The structure should read:
1°%,28BAND;2°(nc)31BAND.
Morris Hodara**
Pages 611 and 967. The two recordings of Jig Walk,
3817b and 4025a, are indeed the same tune, but they have little or
nothing to do with the piano-roll Jig Walk. I know that 4025a
has been properly announced in the broadcast as Jig Walk but
that doesn't make it the same as the piano-roll piece. The three
other recordings are indeed the same as the piano-roll piece. The
genuine Jig Walk of 7132i starts not earlier than with the
first chorus. The preceding 34 bars are not Jig Walk but A
Blue Mural from Two Perspectives. Between 7132h and j are in fact
three melodies and not one or two: A Blue Mural from Two
Perspectives, Jig Walk and Spanish Flea (not
complete).
Sjef Hoefsmit
See about Jig Walk in this Bulletin 04/3-23.
DEMS**
We listened carefully to all the editions of Jig Walk. In our
opinion 3817b and 4025a are a reworking of this item (see also Mark
Tucker, page 135 of "The Early Years"). Your discovery about 7132i is
very fine: before Jig Walk Duke does indeed play A Blue
Mural from Two Perspectives and after Jig Walk is a short
part of Spanish Flea. We'll make the consequent
corrections.
Luciano Massagli
Page XXXIV. For years I have been aware that there's an
alternative title to Rumpus in Richmond, Brassiere .
Annie's marvellous notes for the Fargo 60th Anniversary Edition give
the title as Brasserie.
Roger Boyes
Here's what a found in my French dictionary:
"brasserie" (fr. spelling) a brewery, a public house,
"brassière " (fr. spelling) a baby's vest, or a
shoulder strap. It appears Annie's notation is correct.
Jo Ann Sterling**
The title on the original parts is Brassiere.
David Berger**
Page 875. "G" for Groove. Ellington was constantly
quoting himself, often in written music, so we know that it was
conscious and planned. And what of that lick that he used to play
every single time behind Harry Carney's long note on Sophisticated
Lady - which he recorded as "G" for Groove in the Private
Collection, but which is actually from trombonist Matthew Gee and
recorded by him as Oh Gee.
