"Duke Ellington is widely held to be the greatest jazz composer and one of the most
significant cultural icons of the twentieth century. 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" ; "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"
