Produktinformationen zu „The Ellington Century “
Klappentext zu „The Ellington Century “
Breaking down walls between genres that are usually discussed separately - classical, jazz, and popular - this highly engaging book offers a compelling new integrated view of twentieth-century music. Placing Duke Ellington (1899 - 1974) at the center of the story, David Schiff explores music written during the composers lifetime in terms of broad ideas such as rhythm, melody, and harmony. He shows how composers and performers across genres shared the common pursuit of representing the rapidly changing conditions of modern life. The Ellington Century demonstrates how Duke Ellingtons music is as vital to musical modernism as anything by Stravinsky, more influential than anything by Schoenberg, and has had a lasting impact on jazz and pop that reaches from Gershwin to contemporary R&B.

Rezension zu „The Ellington Century “
"'The Ellington Century' redefines the Duke's place in American music... It's a must-read for music students and enthusiasts."--The Oregonian "Schiff makes you yearn to be a part of the ongoing flow of all music, not just jazz, or classical, or pop, or anything else. And that is one of the highest compliments I can pay the book."--Music Industry Newswire "The most stimulating contribution to the Ellington literature I have encountered since Eddie Lambert's Listener's Guide."--Dems Bulletin "This book will be a must read for Ellingtonians and any musician interested in jazz-classical theory."--All About Jazz "An important milestone in Ellington scholarship, a one-of-a-kind substantive, in-depth study that opens possibilities for better understanding and appreciation of Duke Ellington the composer."--Ellingtonia
