Twenty-five years ago in his hit song, "Sir Duke," Stevie Wonder
sings: "Music knows it is and always will be one of the things that
life just won't quit. / Here are some of music's basic pioneers
that time will not allow us to forget: / There's Basie, Miller,
Satchmo, and the King of All, Sir Duke! / And with a voice like
Ella's ringing out, there's no way the band can lose! / You can
feel it all over!" To say that Ellington was a prominent jazz-band
leader of the 20th century would be like saying William Shakespeare
was simply a prominent English playwright of his time. This book
begins with personal reflections as well as the life before going
on to consider - through anecdote, musical scholarship and personal
interviews - Ellington's profound and direct influence on an
amazing range of pop artists: Stevie Wonder, Steely Dan, Miles
Davis (who, in the ultimate tribute, had himself interred next to
The Duke in New York's Woodlawn Cemetery), Sun Ra, James Brown, Sly
Stone, George Clinton, Prince, Frank Zappa, Charles Mingus, Ravi
Shankar and others.
