Here's hoping this Daybreak Express takes off this very daybreak to help kick off a great weekend - Lord knows I'm due. ;)

One of the finest recorded & pressed 78's I've ever heard - full, crisp & rock solid.

And Duke's outfit ain't bad at all, either. ;)

  • @JazzyBlues420 Check out "Vince Giordano's Nighthawks;" they might have this in their "book."

    They're also on "Facebook."

  • It's really "Tiger Rag" reworked so Ellington wouldn't have to pay a royalty plus he could collect one (without having to share it with Irving Mills, either).

    Great section work by the brass with valve-trombonist Juan Tizol playing together with the trumpets at 1:29

    Wartime pressing on re-processed shellac.

    Nice!

  • i would love to see them play this in a live recording audience.. just once.

  • This recording is what turned me on to Ellington's music when I first heard it on a CD played on the radio. I now have 400 or 500 Ellington CDs and a couple of webpages devoted to the man and his music. I agree with hremdldw that the man was a freaking genius, but listen as well to how tight that young band was.

  • Hehe I uploaded this today. just different pressing. :)

  • Duke: A freaking genius,listen too this compostion Day Break Express and Happy Go Lucky Local .Their is a obvious love of trains.The soloist play on and old tune Tiger Rag all dressed up as a locomotive!

  • classic depiction of Ellington's mastery in composition!

  • Great sound, much better than the CD version I had once!!!!

  • HOT, VERY HOT!!!
