[Never Felt This Way Before (alt tk.-B) (BBB) 3:01 (Duke Ellington) 25, Tootin’ Through The Roof (alt tk-B) (BBB) 2:54 (Duke Ellington) DISCOGRAPHY This discography is informed by the work of Steven Lasker’s extensive research on Ellington recordings. His sources included the American Record Corporation (ARC) engineer logs, ledger books and Columbia’s matrix cards, which he was able to inspect thanks to the gracious help of ‘Tina McCarthy, the longtime archivist for Columbia and then, Sony Music. More recently, Scott Wenzel conducted a supplemental review of the company files courtesy of Michael Panico of Sony Music. The attributions of who plays what reed instruments on which sessions aren't noted in any company file but were made by ear, and are thus not necessarily correct in every instance. All recordings were issued as DUKE ELLINGTON and his FAMOUS ORCHESTRA, DUKE ELLINGTON & HIS FAMOUS ORCHESTRA, Duke Ellington and his (or His) Famous Orchestra or Duke Ellington and his Orchestra, and released on 10” 78s except where noted. For the purposes of this discography, only the first issue number of each matrix is listed. All are American releases except (Au) for Australia, (E) for England, (F) for France, (G) for Germany, (It) for Italy, (J) for Japan and (Sw) for Switzerland. Label abbreviations for this set are as follows: BD for Blu-Disc, Br for Brunswick, Col for Columbia, Col Mas for Columbia Masterworks, FDC for For Discriminate Collector, Mas for Master, Par for Parlophone, SE for Special Editions, UTD for Up To Date, Voc for Vocalion and Vri for Variety. Duke Ellington is believed to be the arranger on all titles except where noted. The start and end times shown here for many of the sessions were found in ARC's ledger books and engincer's logs. Recording supervisors (producers) are also mentioned where known.

The flip side of Columbia 35776 is a re-issue of Ellington’s Jubilee Stomp recorded in 1928 on OKeh and therefore is not included in this package.

Special thanks to Michael Brooks, Matt Cavaluzzo and The Institute of Jazz Studies. ‘The bulk of the source material used for this set came from the original 78s provided by Steven Lasker. However, we would like to thank Michael Brooks who provided us with a clean test pressing of matrix B 12773-D and The Institute of Jazz Studies with the Brunswick release of matrix WM 1000-1. Metal parts from the Sony Archives were used for matrices M 519-2, M 521-2, M 833-2, M 882-2, WM 1006-2 and WM 1008-1, and in the case where either a metal part or test pressing no longer exists, the following alternate takes were taken from LP issues: C 1199-2, M 648-2, M 649-2 and M 650-x. Special thanks for supplying sources also go to George Avakian for the only known master-pressed tests of session (T) and Jack Towers for the 16" safety disc of tracks from session (WW).

As noted in other Mosaic boxed sets that contain sources from single metal parts, the master take is seldom the first but instead usually the last take recorded. The majority of sessions from the American Record Corporation (or ARC, the original parent company of the recordings contained herein) chose for initial release the -A or -1 takes and a -B or -2 for the second choice, ete. Since there is no surviving company file that shows the original recording sequence, it was decided that for the sake of comparison within this discography, it would be best if most of the takes of a given master were grouped together in descending alphabetical or numerical order. This is not an exact science but we believe this approach most closely approximates the original recording sequence.
