I THINK I have most of this; I'll have to check the Ellington on line email list. Haven't been there in a week or so.
A standalone recently came out from Grona Lund, don't know if this is the same show; & they unfortunately don't seem to say what's on some of the cd's (unless I'm blind).

Looks really, really good!
Product Description
Duke Box 2 begins in 1952 and picks up where the first Duke Box left off; covering his music-making right up until the autumn of 1972, less than two years before he died. This means that it is filled with a treasure trove of both studio and live recordings; such as Birdland, NYC, from 1952, Kongressaal, Munich from 1958, and Tivoli, Stockholm from 1963. Of particular interest here are the late 60 s and early 70 s studio sessions (mostly recorded in New York). As a bonus, there is a fascinating DVD of the band in action, filmed at Pathé Studios, NYC in 1962. Housed in a lid-off long box, containing a 28 page booklet crammed with unseen photos and full track annotation, and completed with liner notes by Ellington expert Brian Priestley.
Tracks: CD1. Duke Ellington & His Orchestra: Duke Ellington at Birdland (Live; Birdland NYC, November 20th-24th, 1952) CD2. Duke Ellington & His Orchestra: at Kongressaal, Deutsches Museum, Munich, (Live; November 14th, 1958) CD3. Duke Ellington at Grøna Lund Tivoli, Stockholm (Live; June 6th 1963) CD4. Duke Ellington The Piano Player (Studio; Solo 1961-71) CD5. Duke Ellington & His Orchestra The Jaywalker (Studio; 1966-67) CD6. Duke Ellington: New York, New York (Studio; 1970-72) CD7. Duke Ellington & His Orchestra Togo Brava Suite (Studio; 1971) 8. DVD: Duke Ellington & His Orchestra Pathé Studios, NYC. Jan. 9th, 1962

Thanks, Rick. It appears that I needcd's 1 &2 & POSSIBLY the dvd.
Be warned if you get the DE collecting bug; it's a never ending chase!
I've been collecting DE since the 90's & have aquired significant items from people who knew him; & I know I'll never have it all.
I currently have 255 cd's & SACD's (INCLUDING several BOX SETS with 3-24 cd's per box),
4 mp3 albums
34 44/16 Files
26 hi-res albums
22 dvd's
& that's after liquidating my vinyl LP's (over 50?)
I.E. it's close to impossible to be a completest..

Here's info on the box from the Duke LYM email list. Quote: Hello All, Storyville have just issued or will do this shortly: Treasury Shows vol. 22 and Duke Box vol. 2. It will contain 7 CD’s and a DVD. Except for one the CD’s are available as single CD’s: At Birdland 1952 The Duke in Munich The piano player The jaywalker New York, New York The Toga Brava suite New is the 1963 June the 6th concert at Grona Lund. In June 1963 Duke played a week a Grona Lund. Except for the second Saturday concert (this on the 2 CD set) the seven other concerts are allmost the same in content: Take the A train (theme), Afro Bossa, Medley, Take The A train (theme). The issued concert has Satin doll as last tune instead of Take the A train. The DVD has the Goodyear jazz concert from January 1962. Most of the music has been on a LP and Storyville issued the music on Masters of Jazz vol. 6 I don’t know if the Grona Lund CD will be made available as a single CD for those who all ready have the other material. All the best, Ironically, I thought I had Grona Lund! Turns out I do have everything else in the box already. If you can find them & have big $'s to spend on Duke, I'd recommend either of the Mosaic 30's sets (the big band set is sadly brickwalled; the small bands set is not; both have essential music) or for those feeling wealthy who are lucky enough to find it the 24 cd RCA complete DE on RCA box. This is almost all later material; & while there is no bad Duke; imo he went downhill after the late 50's/early 60's CBS material; & unless you're a completest like me I would hesitate to recommend this set over 20's-40's material.

I'm checking, but I think the person I quoted above is wrong about Grona Lund. I think it's this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KBEY236/?tag=imwan-20Which would mean this is all previously released. The box's description says the GL tracks are unreleased; but as the 2014 release was a 2 cd set, I question if the concert was that long to have an entire cd of out takes? At least in my browser, the Storyville site only shows the first 17 songs in the box, so I can't compare.

It appears I was right; there's nothing unreleased here, despite the press release from Storyville: From Duke LYM: Quote: The released Grona Lund 2CD https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KBEY236/?tag=imwan-20is the June 8, 1963 dance date (New Desor session DE6352). The June 6 concert is DE6344. It appears that the box set includes both shows, plus the Goodyear film from January 1962, and the six other mentioned single CDs. Does turn out I do still need to buy the Grona Lund 2 cd set. I have everything else in this box already. On the bright side, Treasury 22 is already out in Europe (I don't know why, but the USA releases of this series are usually 6 months behind the European). This means I'll likely still be alive when they finish the set (#24). So far it's only available on cd direct from Storyville. Amazon.UK only has the mp3. Both Amazons & other retailers will eventually get it. Actually, the 21 volumes I have are so similar that the only reason I'm buying the entire set is because I'm pretty much a DE completest (though I'm starting to lighten up on the 60's & early 70's concerts, which often weren't that great.)
