Bubber Miley: The Works
Some sides with Mamie Smith and her Jazz Hounds aside, these recordings constitute the bookends of Bubber's career - before and after Duke. Bubber's first recording session with Ellington was in November 1924 and it was another eighteen months on 21 June, 1926 before he became a full-time Ellingtonian. There are a clutch of sides accompanying vocalists I will track down in due course.
