Specificatii
Duke Ellington is universally recognized as one of the towering
figures of 20th-century music, both a brilliant composer and one of
the preeminent musicians in jazz history. From early pieces such as
East St. Louis Toodle-O, Black and Tan Fantasy, It Don't Mean a
Thing, and Mood Indigo, to his more complex works such as
Reminiscing in Tempo and Black, Brown and Beige, to his later
suites and sacred concerts, he left an indelible mark on the
musical world. Now, in The Duke Ellington Reader, Mark Tucker
offers the first historical anthology of writings about this major
African-American musician. The volume includes over a hundred
selections--interviews, critical essays, reviews, memoirs, and over
a dozen writings by Ellington himself--with generous introductions
and annotations for each selection provided by the editor. The
result is a unique sourcebook that illuminates Ellington's work and
reveals the profound impact his music has made on listeners over
the years. The writers gathered here represent a Who's Who of jazz
criticism: Gunther Schuller, Whitney Balliett, Martin Williams,
Gary Giddins, Stanley Crouch, Albert Murray, Nat Hentoff, Hugues
Panassie, Stanley Dance, to name just a few. Their writings span
Ellington's entire career, from the days when Duke Ellington's
Washingtonians appeared at New York's Club Kentucky (Probably the
'hottest' band this side of the equator), to the Duke's glorious
reign at the Cotton Club, to his later years as global ambassador
of American music. Tucker has included some of the classic essays
written about Ellington, such as R. D. Darrell's Black Beauty, the
first significant critical essay on Ellington's work and still one
of the most important; Richard O. Boyer's lengthy New Yorker
profile The Hot Bach, printed here in its entirety; and Martin
Williams's Form Beyond Form, one of the best capsule introductions
to Ellington's art. Throughout the book, the reader receives a
balanced overview of Ellington's life as composer and performer, as
public personality and private individual. Tucker provides a number
of pieces on Ellington's compositions, including an entire chapter
devoted to critical response to Ellington's Black, Brown and Beige,
and there are also many moving pieces on Ellington the man, such as
Ralph Ellison's tribute to Ellington on his 70th birthday, and
Stanley Dance's funeral address. Finally, Tucker rounds out the
collection with profiles on many of the outstanding musicians who
worked with Ellington, among them Johnny Hodges, Bubber Miley,
Billy Strayhorn, Ivie Anderson, Sonny Greer, Joe Tricky Sam Nanton,
and Ben Webster. This is a landmark volume in jazz criticism, a
kaleidoscopic portrait of Duke Ellington's creative world,
documenting his extraordinary achievements as composer, songwriter,
bandleader, and pianist. It is an essential companion for Ellington
enthusiasts, jazz fans, and serious students of American music.
