Hardcover. Condition: Good. "Music is my mistress, and she plays second fiddle to no one." This is the story of Duke Ellington the story of Jazz itself. Told in his own way, in his own words, a symphony written by the King of Jazz. His story spans and defines a half-century of modern music. This man who created over 1500 compositions was as much at home in Harlem's Cotton Club in the 20s as he was at a White House birthday celebration in his honor in the 60s. What emerges most strongly in his commitment to music, the mistress for whom he saves the fullest intensity of his passion. "Lovers have come and gone, but only my mistress stays," he says. He composed not only songs that all the world has sung, but also suites, sacred works, music for stage and screen and symphonies. With 'B&W' photos. /// This is a 2nd edition hardback with its dustjacket in good condition-the dustjacket edges are scuffed&chipped & slightly torn&repaired. (523 pages & 15 pages of introduction).
