0597 Various Artists [We Love You Madly] FLAC 11(38.15)

Contributed by bluebird, who writes:-
This is just the music (no video) from a BBC TV transmission to celebrate the 70th Birthday of Duke Ellington in April 1969 and played by various groups.
The sound taken from a CDR is not brilliant and there is some residual background noise, possibly the result of earlier over-enthusiastic restoration work, but it is perfectly listenable and there are some fine solos.
Stan Tracey's Big Brass, one of the groups here, plays five selections all of which appeared on his 1968 album 'We Love You Madly' with the same featured soloists.
Sound (the format of which could be anything) from TV transmission via CDR with a 'cover' picture and track/personnel details.
