This comprehensive and accessible Companion is the first collection of essays to survey, in-depth, Ellington's career, music, and place in popular culture. An international cast of authors includes renowned scholars, critics, composers, and jazz musicians. Organized in three parts, the Companion first sets Ellington's life and work in context, providing new information about his formative years, method of composing, interactions with other musicians, and activities abroad; its second part gives a complete artistic biography of Ellington; and the final section is a series of specific musical studies, including chapters on Ellington and song-writing, the jazz piano, descriptive music, and the blues. Featuring a chronology of the composer's life and major recordings, this book is essential reading for anyone with an interest in Ellington's enduring artistic legacy"-- $c Provided by publisher. 520 $a "In the view of a large and ever-increasing number of people, Duke Ellington is America's greatest composer. I share this opinion. I also think a good case can be made that, all in all, Ellington, who lived from 1899 to 1974, was the most influential composer of the twentieth century - for jazz, with its various stylistic offspring, has had more impact worldwide than any other form of modern music. And Ellington is acknowledged almost universally as the greatest of all jazz composers"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Ellington, Duke, $d 1899-1974 $x Criticism and interpretation. 650 0 $a Jazz musicians $z United States $v Biography. 655 7 $a Biography. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423686. 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635. 700 1 $a Green, Edward, $d 1951- $e editor. 700 1 $a Spring, Evan, $e editor. 830 0 $a Cambridge companions to music. 856 42 $3 Cover image $u http://assets.cambridge.org/97805218/81197/cover/9780521881197.jpg 941 $a 1 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20170125011117.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=402420D4E2CC11E69BF6F981DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
