October 2024 “In a Mellow Tone” Duke Ellington Orchestra. Direct cut acetate 10“ 78rpm. France, 40s (?). See also this month's “CEMJazz in the spotlight”
A direct cut record. Probably made in the 40s. Unknown origin, labels are not very talkative! “Live”, studio, radio recording or simple dubbing… You have an idea: write us! (info@cemjazz.org)
With these fragile records (“Pyral” type), the sound is usually not very good and this one is no exception to the rule.
