[78-L] October 22nd 78 session

[Iñigo Cubillo]

Malcolm: You will enjoy them. Ellington is very special... DIfficult for us
who are so used to the music of such a long period as 1925-1945. I believe 
we tend to mix things... in the sense of loosing the originality of some. Have you ever 
compared Ellington to any other jazz band of the same period? He always sounds so 
different, so original... Nobody dared to imitate that sound... Perhaps those black bands
of the V-38000s as Fess Wiliams and others? I have never listened to them, bu I will bid
that Ellington eclipsed them all.
