Part 5. The New DESOR

DE4201a - A Practical Example

DEMS 04/2-49

See DEMS 04/1-30

While reading Luciano's and Giovanni's clear and thorough notes explaining how the New DESOR works (see Bulletin 04/1 DEMS 30), it occurred to me that some DEMS members may still find the system difficult to follow. Take an example from towards the end of their explanation: cod8OP(ce.) translates into 'an 8-bar coda played on 'cello by Oscar Pettiford, whose usual instrument while he was with Ellington was the double bass'. This little cluster of letters, punctuation marks and the figure 8, eleven symbols in all, thus contains a remarkable amount of information to the reader who has 'cracked the code' of this astonishing book. It would be hard to over-value the rewards of cracking this code.
In the example which follows I have tried to apply Luciano's and Giovanni's explanation to a single Ellington recording, the original Victor version of Perdido, from 21 January 1942. I've chosen this particular piece because it is both straightforward to follow and very familiar.
The date points us without difficulty to the bottom of page 60 in Section One of the New DESOR, the chronological listing of Sessions. The entry starts with the date and location, plus the recording company and the name under which original issues from the session appeared. Below this general information the three titles recorded on 21 January appear, in a column. On the right is a column of matrix numbers and to the left of this are listed the original release numbers of the titles, plus later key releases. We see at once that two takes of Perdido were recorded on 21 January 1942, and we may infer that BS070682-1 was the one chosen for issue, since three releases are listed for this take and only one for BS070682-2. A closer look confirms this. The first release given for BS070682-1, Vi27880, clearly refers to a 78 rpm issue. The only release number given for take 2, RCA 07863-66790-2, is of a CD issue listed in Section Three, on page 1404. So we know that BS070862-2 remained unissued until the CD era. In the list of tracks on RCA 07863-66790-2 on page 1404 the title is underlined thus, Perdido, confirming that this 1997 CD was a first-time release of this take.
You may wonder what (2nd) means in this column, on the line below the three release listings. It certainly puzzled me for a time. It refers to the release on RCA FXM1-7274, an LP which appeared in two successive editions, and on which Perdido will be found only on the second. This is confirmed on page 1403, in Section Three, Discs. It is unfortunate that (2nd) appears in isolation on the line below the release to which it refers, and at the far end of the column too; but the absence of a comma between the two bits of information tells us that they belong together.
Much information of this sort can be found in the other comprehensive Ellington discographies, Nielsen and Timner. What sets the New DESOR apart from these fine works is the material contained in Section Two, Titles; and the key to unlocking this material is Perdido's unique recording number, DE4201a, given in the left-hand column of the entry on page 60. DE4201a contains four items of information. DE means simply that this is a Duke Ellington recording within Luciano's and Giovanni's definition of that term; 42 means it's a 1942 recording; 01 indicates that this was the first Ellington recording session of that year; 'a' tells us that Perdido was the first piece recorded at the session.
There is one further point to note, before we let DE4201a lead us into the fascinating world of Part Two of the New DESOR. There appears to be no mention on page 60 of a personnel listing for the 21 January 1942 session. In fact this is not so. 4124 is another unique recording number, like DE4201a but with the initial DE taken as read; and with no final letter, since it refers back to the general information for the session, and not to a particular recording from it. 41 indicates a 1941 Ellington session, while 24 points us to the 24th such session of that year. It is now a simple matter to locate that session, at the bottom of page 59. Here we find a full personnel listing by initials, arranged in the usual way, trumpets, then trombones, then reeds in the order clarinet, alto, tenor and baritone saxes, followed by piano and rhythm section. Two vocalists are also listed but we know they aren't relevant to Perdido, since vocalists are always listed individually in the New DESOR for the recordings on which they perform. Singers apart, session 4201 has the same personnel as session 4124.
Section Two takes up most of the second volume of the New DESOR. It is another listing of Ellington recordings, this time alphabetically by title and chronologically of each title by unique recording number. It is therefore easy to find the entry for Perdido starting on page 1068. As with Section One, the entry begins with some general facts about the piece. It is a Juan Tizol composition, with a lesser known title, Tizol's Stomp, which reflects its origin. AABA32 tells us that Perdido is a 32-bar piece cast in AABA song form. This information is important for the chorus-by-chorus description that follows, and it's worth spelling out that AABA32 means that the 32 bars of the tune divide into an A section which occurs twice up to bar 16, and which reappears at bar 25 for the final 8 bars. From bar 17 to bar 24 there's a different section, B, which musicians call the bridge, the middle 8, or, less usually, the release or channel. (An AABA 32-bar song doesn't have to divide into 4x8-bar sections in this way of course, but the chances are it will, and Perdido certainly does). Thus prepared, we can now apply the New DESOR 'code' to our recording.
At the start of this article I called DE4201a 'the original Victor version'. So it is, but a glance at page 1068 shows it to be the second recording of Perdido which survives. Alongside its unique recording number we read in the New DESOR code its sequence of events, which looks like this:-
int4DE;1°16HC,8RN,8HC;2°16RS,16BW;3°16BAND,8RN,8BAND&RN.
The semi-colons are the key to this sequence, since they show where one event ends and the next one starts. Usually they separate one chorus from another, and where they do they appear next to a number in the series 1°, 2°, 3°, etc., indicating the first, second and third choruses, and continuing for as long as further choruses follow. 4201a has three choruses. Once this bit of the code is understood, along with the chorus description AABA32, the rest is easy. Commas separate different musical events within a chorus, in the same way as semi-colons separate one choruses from another. Initials refer to musicians; numbers (other than chorus numbers) refer to bars within the chorus.
Thus Perdido starts with a 4-bar piano introduction from Duke, leading into the first chorus:- int4DE;1°.....
The first chorus features Harry Carney's solo voice for 16 bars (by which we understand the first two eight-bar A sections), followed by Ray Nance for the 8-bar bridge, B, and with Harry returning for the closing A, before we move on to the second chorus:- 1°16HC,8RN,8HC; 2°.....
The second chorus is shared equally by Rex Stewart and Ben Webster, who have 16 bars each. By this we understand that Rex takes the first two A sections, Ben takes the bridge and the closing A, then we move on to the third chorus:- 2°16RS,16BW;3°.....
This final chorus spotlights the full band for the first half, after which Ray Nance has the bridge, as he had in Chorus 1°, and continues to solo above the rest of the orchestra in the closing A section:- 3°16BAND,8RN,8BAND&RN.
And so Perdido ends, in this classic version. A great 1942 recording is condensed into less than a line of print on which anyone who cares to can follow the succession of events with ease and also identify the soloists who take part. Note also that the soloists' contributions are described within the structure, unlike simple lists of soloists such as the one offered in the Record Guide in Peter Gammond's 1958 book. (Not that I'm knocking that Guide; I found it invaluable when finding my way into Duke's music 40 or so years ago).
The New DESOR's coded descriptions become even greater marvels of condensation in the case of more complex scores than Perdido. But before leaving page 1068, there are a few further points to note, even at a casual inspection. Firstly, DE4201b. The message 'same as 4201a' tells us that, whatever differences there are between the two takes cut on 21 January 1942, they are structurally identical. Secondly, 4126j. A glance at its coded description shows that, at two choruses only, but with the second structurally the same as the third on the Victor of 21 January, this first of all known recordings of Perdido appears to be a work in progress; the closing chorus is in place on 3 December 1941, but the rest still needs sorting out. You don't even need to have access to the December recording to realise that Duke knew how his score of Tizol's Stomp would finish before he knew how it would start.
Next, look down the listing of 1940s performances of Perdido following DE4201a. Never again does Harry Carney appear as a solo voice in the first chorus. I have heard very few of these recordings, but on the ones I do know, the theme statement is scored for saxes (with Harry's sheet-anchor voice a powerful presence, as it so often was). Maybe these voicings weren't quite settled even when Duke came into Studio 'A' in Chicago on 21 January to record 4201a, and so the line that would eventually be scored for the reeds was entrusted on that occasion to the ever dependable Harry. Who knows? Finally, note that after 4612q in 1946, there are no more surviving performances of Perdido until 5009a in 1950. Why the four-year gap? Especially as after 1950 there's not a single year without at least one recording, right up to 1974, the year of Duke's death. Fascinating questions! No other discography points the inquiring listener towards such speculations.
I hope that some DEMS members will find this explanation of how the New DESOR works, in the case of one very straightforward and well-known recording, a useful one. I'd welcome any feedback about it. Also, let me know if you think it would be worthwhile repeating this exercise with a different recording, to show how the system Luciano and Giovanni outlined so fully in general terms, applies to another piece. Best of all, select a recording and do the exercise for yourself. There could be no better compliment to the extraordinary achievement which is the New DESOR than that it stimulates such enjoyable investigations.
Roger Boyes

It has happened many times that I have had to identify a recording of a concert for which I have no specific date, or even worse, a wrong date and location. Some concerts on tape consist of compilations put together from different concerts in order to construct a "fresh" concert with a date and location that seem to fit: we know that Duke was there that evening, no recording of the event was previously known to exist, so this must be genuine. The intention is to make us believe that a "fresh" recording has now popped up. We call these fabricated concerts on tape "fakes". In the old Desor there were not more than two or three "fakes" which were not detected by the authors. In the New DESOR the first "fake" has still to be discovered. No other discography which includes unissued recordings is as "fake-proof" as the New DESOR is.
When I am trying to identify an apparently unknown concert, I take one piece. I make my own description and then I look for an identical description in the New DESOR. Sometimes the % sign helps, indicating that the recording Giovanni and Luciano are describing is incomplete. If mine is also interrupted at the same spot, this suggests that we are likely to be dealing with the same recording. Sometimes I have had to go into my own collection and make several aural comparisons, but usually one of the selections has something special that makes it stand out in the list of descriptions in the New DESOR, and this identifies the description in the New DESOR with the piece I have taken. Once the first piece is identified, the remaining portion of the concert is mostly (though not always) easy to identify. There are even "fakes" in circulation in which Duke's comments in Paris (trying to speak French) have been interwoven with selections played in Germany, to try to fool you into believing that you have a "fresh" French concert at hand. I can assure you that using the descriptions in DESOR has saved me a lot of time unwinding tapes and finding specific selections, especially when looking for Satin Doll or Take the "A" Train. Another great advantage of the New DESOR compared with the old set of 16 small DESOR discographies is the fact that now for the first time we have a complete list of all the recorded performances of each piece, whereas we had to jump from one concert to the next in the old set, which took much more time. The New DESOR is indeed a blessing for fanatic collectors. I am very happy that Roger Boyes has given it such a favourable review.

Pages XXXIII and 1057. And Then Some has been copyrighted in 1962 and the title appears on a list of ASCAP as composed by Ellington and Hodges and belonging to Tempo Music. This list is the origin of the listing in MIMM (p513).
It has been recorded by Hodges and Wild Bill Davis (plus Les Spann, Sam Jones and Louis Hayes) on 24Aug61 and released on Verve 10273, MGV(6)8406 and English HMV CLP 1579. I recently heard it for the first time. It is the same as One More Once and I suggest to add it to the sub-titles on both pages.**

Pages XXXIV and 812. If the authors mean what they say on page 812, the sub-title Cotton Head should have the # sign according to the explanation in DEMS Bulletin 04/1-30.
Jørgen Mathiasen

One could also suggest that Cotton Tail is a sub-title of Cotton Head. On the tape-box in the Danish Arkiv and on the release (Private Collection Volume 8), Cotton Head has been falsely called Cotton Tail (DEMS Bulletin 86/3-2). A third solution would be to say that Cotton Head is the same as Cotton Tail, since it is merely a head arrangement based on Cotton Tail. I would wonder if there is any written score of Cotton Head.
Sjef Hoefsmit

Pages XXXV, 118 and 1255. See discussion in DEMS 03/1-28. If you want to maintain How Blue Can You Get as another title for Ultra Blue, you should put the # sign after the title on pages XXXV and 1255. You should mention the subtitle between parentheses after Ultra Blue, 4581b on page 118.**

Pages 177 and 1337. Hans Christian Dörrscheidt reported on 17Mar04 in a message to the Duke-LYM group that he had found a slight difference in the joint of the coda of Harlem on the latest re-release of "Ellington Uptown" compared to the earlier release on CD: Columbia CK 40836. The fact that an insert had replaced the coda of Harlem has been mentioned on page 1337 in the New DESOR and has been commented on by Hoefsmit in 00/2-19/p177 and again in 03/3-25/p177. However, this difference in the joint was not detected earlier. This is quoted from Hans Christian's message:
"The trumpet section squeeze before the big drum roll in the coda ends quite abruptly on the new issue, so it's obvious there's a cut at about 13:12 in the track. This wasn't as obvious on the old CD, so first I wondered if the producers of the new one had maybe chosen to paste another take of the coda. After comparing the two codas via PC and headphones I'm quite sure they are the same, but on the old CD issue there was some 'doctoring' done to disguise the cut, making the trumpet squeeze more smooth by means of echo or some other gimmick."
I agree. I have compared all the recordings I have of Harlem of 7Dec51. I could not compare it with the Philips release 07008L, because that LP is no longer in my collection. It was given to Jerry Valburn and is probably in the Library of Congress. Nevertheless, I compared the new Columbia release CK 87066 with the LPs CBS 62686 and Encore (CBS) P 14359 and with the CD Columbia CK 40836. These releases are all identical and they show the smooth connection of the coda as described by Hans Christian with the exception of the recent re-release CK 87066.
I also compared the connection with the acetates I received from Steven Lasker (described in DEMS Bulletin 03/3-25/p177). Here the connection is the same as on CK 87066!
Going over my comments in 03/3-25, I found that I was not clear. Describing the comparison of Harlem on Steven's acetates, I stated: "Comparison revealed that there is a slight difference in the C section of chorus 20°. I found no other differences between Steven's acetates and take -1 (5127e) until I reached chorus 24°. On the Columbia releases chorus 20° is different from both take -1 and take -3."
This seems all rather cryptic. Before re-stating my point I compared everything once again and I have found that my earlier conclusions were correct: I found no difference between take -1 on the studio tapes and Steven's acetates until I reached chorus 24°. That means that chorus 20° is the same on Steven's acetates as it is in take -1 from the recording session. Chorus 20° has a slight difference in the C-section when take -1 is compared with all the Columbia releases including the most recent one. This difference in chorus 20° must have motivated the statement in the New DESOR on page 1337 ("Ellington Uptown", Columbia ML-4639) that starting from chorus 20° take -3 was used. This is not correct. I have not found back in the studio recordings the same chorus 20° as on any of the Columbia releases. It is different from take -1 and different from take -3. (Take -2 did not reach chorus 20°).
The choruses 21°, 22° and 23° on all Columbia releases (and on Steven's acetates) are very much different from take -3 and identical with take -1. Starting wiith chorus 24° on the Columbia releases, take -3 has been used until the joint with the insert coda.
Sjef Hoefsmit

You are right about the choruses 21°/23°: all the Columbia releases are identical with take -1 and not with take -3 as written in DESOR. About the chorus 20° we suspect that it could be from take -3 with the part of BWo, who mis-played his solo, replaced with a more accurate one. We don't know if this technical process at the and of 1951 was possible, but that could explain why the chorus 20° sounds different from take -1 and take -3.
Luciano Massagli

If what you suggest is true it must have been a switch over from take -1 onto take -3 and back in such a fashion that only the second part of chorus 20° was replaced, because take -1 has something wrong at the end and take -3 has something wrong at the beginning. Both "errors" have been eliminated from the Columbia releases.
Sjef Hoefsmit

I found the time to take another listen to the coda on the various issues of Harlem. I could compare these issues:
Columbia ML 4636 [LP] (should read i.m.h.o. ML 4639)
Columbia CK 40836 [CD]
Columbia COL 512917 [CD] (= the same as CK 87066)
Classics 1282 [CD]
and Up-to-Date UTD 2005, the alternate.
The trumpet fall has the exact same cut sound on ML 4636 and the recent COL 512917 CD reissue. Due to more reverb used in the re-mastering, the cut is not perceived quite as harshly on CK40836 and Classics 1282, but it is still there.
The only proper natural fall is audible on UTD 2005. Here the drum roll is about 2 seconds longer. Also, the sound of the drum roll is different! While on UTD2005 it sounds like a low-tom roll, possibly supported by a double-bass-drum roll, on all other issues it sounds very much like a timpani roll. Could also be just one of Bellson's smaller toms, tuned higher, but certainly not the same drum as on UTD 2005!
I guess one of the reasons for the coda insert was to replace the "pedestrian" regular drum roll with the more "dramatic" timpani (possibly high tom) roll. I'm sure that there would have been timpani readily available in the studio.

Page 338. Session 6333. Thank you very much, Luciano, for your CD with the four takes of Solitude of 24Feb63. I am very sorry that I have to report to you that your take -1 is the same as your take -3 and that your take -2 is the same as your take -4.
You should make corrections (upon corrections). I found this error only after the correction-sheets were ready and mailed. There are no more than two different takes. The first one has one and a half chorus, the second has only one chorus. The issued one is the one with only one chorus. What is mentioned on correction-sheet 1058 is wrong. 6333xa, xb and xc are not all the same as the issued version. 6333xa should stay there and it should have one and a half chorus. xb and xc should be deleted.
Also the correction on page 338 should be edited!
Sjef Hoefsmit**

You are absolutely right and my disappointment is really great: we didn't listen to the takes of Solitude with our best attention, so now we must remake the session 6333 that we have recently corrected! Let us off this time for this big mistake not worthy of careful discographers!
