Here is a Duke Ellington record I acquired a couple of years ago.\u00a0 I held off on digitizing it for inclusion in the Radio Dismuke playlist so that I could feature “Japanese Dream” along with other records not in the station’s regular rotation on the 2009-2010 New Year’s Eve live broadcast.\u00a0\u00a0 After the broadcast, I set the record aside and, until recently, completely forgot about it.<\/p>\n

This record is from Victor’s V-38000 catalog number series.\u00a0 The series was launched in 1929 and was devoted exclusively to recordings by black musicians.\u00a0 Victor advertised it as their “red hot dance” catalog.\u00a0\u00a0 Unfortunately, because of the onset of the Great Depression and declining record sales, the series was discontinued a year later.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
