Duke with a Difference is an album by American jazz trumpeter Clark Terry featuring tracks recorded in 1957 for the Riverside label.

AllMusic awarded the album 4 stars, stating:

Clark Terry and some of the top Ellington sidemen of the period perform eight songs associated with Duke, but with fresh arrangements. There is plenty of solo space for Terry, Gonsalves, and Hodges, and the arrangements by Terry and Mercer Ellington cast a new light on some of the warhorses.

I know that not everyone likes Cuphead for a lot of reasons: difficulty of game, style of the cartoon drawings. But I think we can all agree that the studio band they got for the sound track is fucking tight as hell and they produced some true Big Band Bangers.

Musical Interlude: The New Leviathan Oriental Fox-Trot Orchestra, from out of New Orleans, was a fascinating ensemble with a rather bizarre sense of humor; one of their albums was purportedly recorded in a luxury submarine ballroom under the Arctic ice as WWIII raged overhead. But their sound is definitely legit and old-school...

Bad and Beautiful is an album by the American jazz musician Sun Ra and his Arkestra. Recorded in 1961 in New York City at the Choreographers' Workshop, 414 W. 51st St., the album was the second to be recorded in New York by the Arkestra after leaving Chicago, but would remain unreleased until 1972. The album is considered to represent an important transition between the big band approach of the Chicago recordings, and the more 'outside' approach of Ra's smaller bands recorded later in the decade: - Wikipedia
