(2-CD set) The tradition of performing the Sacred Music of Duke Ellington in Seattle began in the winter of 1989. The SRJO began with that first concert. Many founding members, including Don Lanphere, Floyd Standifer, Bill Ramsay and Marc Seales, were in
Seattle Repertory Jazz Orchestra: Nichol Eskridge, James Caddell (vocals); Michael Brockman (soprano saxophone, alto saxophone); Mark Taylor (alto saxophone); Dennis Haldane (trumpet); Bill Anthony (trombone); Phil Sparks (double bass); Clarence Acox (drums); Dee Daniels, Larry Fuller. Personnel: Dee Daniels, James Caddell (vocals); Dan Wickham (clarinet, alto saxophone); Hadley Caliman (tenor saxophone); Bill Ramsay (baritone saxophone); Jay Thomas (trumpet); Larry Fuller (piano). Recording information: First United Methodist Church, Portland, OR; Kirkland Performance Center, Kirkland, WA; University Christian Church, Seattle, WA. Photographers: Jim Wilke; Steve Robinson . Arranger: John Hoybye. If a repertory orchestra is going to do something, it might as well go big. Here, the Seattle Repertory Jazz Orchestra, in combination with the Oregon Repertory Singers and a handful of guests, take on music from Duke Ellington's three Sacred Music concerts. The performances are flawless, running the range from gospel to jazz to something mighty close to American opera, with nary a false note. And the compositions are of the highest caliber, of course essentially by definition, given their creator. An excellent album, with work rivaled only by the original performances from Duke and his band. However, even Duke would be impressed with their rendition of "In the Beginning God." ~ Adam Greenberg
JazzTimes (pp.107-108) - "[The album] provides solid and remarkable music. The Oregon Repertory Singers sound especially good under their conductor, Gil Seeley..."

| | Tom Paxton Ramblin' Boy CD (1964)
Sacred Music Of Duke Ellington
$11.79 On this album, his debut from 1965 are such classics as 'I Can't Help But Wonder Where I'm Bound', 'Goin' To The Zoo', and 'The Last Thing On My Mind'. There are also notes to the classic folk album that include quotes from the man himself. 2002.
Personnel: Tom Paxton (vocals, guitar); Barry Kornfield (guitar, banjo, harmonica); Felix Pappalardi (guitarron). Tom Paxton's debut album sounds rather dated these days, as do many of the releases from the folk revival's army of singer/songwriters (Bob Dylan aside), and often for the same simple reason: nothing grows old faster than topical material. What keeps Ramblin' Boy from being just another period piece from the 1960s are a trio of songs in which Paxton swings away from trying to be relevant and brings a kind of restless and romantic self-analysis to the table. "The Last Thing on My Mind," "Ramblin' Boy," and "I Can't Help But Wonder Where I'm Bound" all exhibit a classic, timeless appeal simply because they work to the positive side of emotional ennui. Being lost, confused, and uncertain out there on the Great Open Road is a scenario full of potential, because you're going somewhere whether you like it or not, but not quite yet, and that pause before motion or action is what Paxton captures so well in ...
