Biography Of Mr. Ellington
NEW YORK — Man and music,
Duke Ellington ia an Ami-ricanc,
t:-:i.iem:.rk His bio-rapliy written
by Bary Ulanov, editor of Metr)-
nnme. is not only the story of in-
dividiinl succc.ss, but the story of
a blind, an tra in Amreican life and
a chapter in the history of music.
I roriiiet of ilic creative culture
in which perhaps half of our inu'si-
cal instrumenLs were first develo|. •
ed. Duke Ellington has aULimcd
iincqualrd stature as a compo.sor
The man who was born to jazz,
who gave swing its impetus, wa-
a jazz antiquity in 19,15 when other
.swingsters hold the highligiit. but
the Duke has maintained his envia
ble position because of his attiude,
as he expresses it:
•'There is .something lasting to
he obtniiier} from tho Negr.o idiom.
I predict that Negro mu.sic will be
.live years after swing is dead. Ne-
iTo irusic has color, harmony, me'f.-
dy and rhythm. It's what I am in-
loresled in and I am going to stick
!o if. Let the 'ithers whirl and
•erk. like ickics and jitterbugs on
.swing and let me sit back and
drink in the music.”
