This site is dedicated to Donald Johnson Ellis, Don
Ellis, The Master. |
Unfortunatly, Don Ellis music is
very hard to find.
Most of my favourite albums have
not been reissued on CD.
During the Napster period, I
downloaded many pieces, It was like a dream.
Then, It was amazing for me to
imagine the "Best of Don Ellis" (from my personal point of view...)
As one CD was not longer enough for
all the best of Don's music, I have imagined 3 compilations.
On my Web site, you can download
only tracks which are not yet reissued on CD.
Albums like
Connection, Electric
Bath, Tears of Joy, Live in 3 2/3 4 Time, Live
at Montreux,
Live at Fillmore, Underground
and Shock Treatment
have been reissued on CD, and I invite you to buy all
of them.
Now you can click to access to the
Don Ellis "Greatest Hits" that you'll find nowhere else:
All the tracks of my
"Greatest Hits" are from 12 Don's albums, see my album review
and more...
Please find also some GREAT trumpet
moments with Don on video (Thanks Greg)
The orchestras are so fabulous,
magic and funny (just click to see)
Playing trumpet suddenly seems to
be very easy when you see Don performing...

I called the page THE NON-DON
COLLECTION
Before leaving the site, one more
music gift from Don Ellis the Master!
It’s a great jazz thing with
Karin Krog from Norway:
pastoral intro, then Karin sings,
and Don’s solo do the rest (click on the pic to hear)
