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 composer's
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
Ellington's 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.
