Duke Ellington (1899-1974) is widely considered the jazz
tradition's most celebrated composer. This engaging yet scholarly
volume explores his long career and his rich cultural legacy from a
broad range of in-depth perspectives, from the musical and
historical to the political and international. World-renowned
scholars and musicians examine Ellington's influence on jazz music,
its criticism, and its historiography. The chronological structure
of the volume allows a clear understanding of the development of
key themes, with chapters surveying his work and his reception in
America and abroad. By both expanding and reconsidering the
contexts in which Ellington, his orchestra, and his music are
discussed, Duke Ellington Studies reflects a wealth of new
directions that have emerged in jazz studies, including focuses on
music in media, class hierarchy discourse, globalization,
cross-cultural reception, and the role of marketing, as well as
manuscript score studies and performance studies.
