Shortly after Duke Ellington's death, Ralph Gleason, jancriticofRollingStone, wrote: 'His music gave me countless hours of pleasure throughout my life., And it was not just pleasure. it was inspiration- Duke's mystery was inspiring. He made you want to know. he was musician's musician and a composer's composer. And one incredible man: No one knew this'incredible man' better than his only son Mercer, who has now teamed with Stanley Dance, the best of the Ellington historians, to write the most complete and intimate memoir available of America's genius of jazz. Mercer Ellington was bornin 1919 when Duke was twenty and wasaccnriated with his father's musical activity at avery young age. Mercer's account of Ellington's earlier years is based on personal memories, and his description of Duke's family and musical life in Washington throws new light on this period. The reader will also find new material concerning Duke's personal life and romantic relationships with women. Of course, the story of Duke as a composer and musician is the most important and it is all here with fresh anecdotes about his work and the talented musicians who worked with him and for him -people like BillyStrayhorn. Bubber M ileX Johnny Hodges, Sonny Greer, Paul Gonsalves, Jimmy Blanton and many. manyothers. This is also the story of a remarkable relationship between father and son. Sons of Famous and complished fatherswho enter the same field with success are rare and Mercer Ellington is one of those exceptions. Proficient on the alto saxophone and trumpet, he also arranged and wrote music. sometimes for hisown band, sometimes for Duke's. In l964he joined the Duke Ellington band as road managerand member of the trumpet section and since Duke'sdeath he has taken over as leader Size: 8vo. …
