and Ben Webster, trumpeters Cootie Williams and Clark Terry,
drummer Sonny Greer, vocalist Alice Babs, and organist Wild Bill
Davis, among many others. There are also first-hand accounts of
Ellington's world tours, performances in churches and the White
House, interviews and public appearances, and a complete
discography and chronology. The result is a timeless chronicle of
the long and extraordinary career of a music master."The truest and
most intimate portrait of the great Ellington that we
have."-Whitney Balliett
