About this book

Duke Ellington, Jazz Composer by Rattenbury, Ken. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780300044287.

This analysis of Duke Ellingtons works draws on observations by Ellington himself and by members of his orchestra to show how blues, ragtime and Tin Pan Alley influenced Ellington and how he integrated black folk music practices with elements of European art music. The book aims to provide new perspectives on Ellingtons life and music, the interpretations of some of his creative soloists and the evolution of the jazz tradition.
