SUMMARY

" This anthology further confirms [Duke Ellington's] permanency in the American cultural pantheon. It aims to include the most important articles ever written about Ellington and his greatest musicians, including some of Ellington's own writings, analyses of scores, interviews, and pieces of historical interest. Comparisons of Ellington's techniques with those of Mozart, Bartok, and Schoenberg are advanced as completely appropriate.

But the most important words herein come from the extraordinary Duke himself: 'To me, then, jazz means simply freedom of musical speech!'"Tucker, Mark is the author of 'Duke Ellington Reader', published 1995 under ISBN 9780195093919 and ISBN 0195093917.
