"In 'Duke', music critic author and broadcaster Derek Jewell has written a definitive life of the Ellington he knew so well. He takes his volatile, brilliant and enigmatic subjevt from the hustling night-life of the Twenties to jet-setting international tours, from the casinos of Las Vegas to those later 'Sacred Concerts' in, among others, Coventry Cathedral, and from the writing of hit pop songs like 'Sophisticated Lady' and 'Solitude' to the creation of major suites and musicals. This fascinating book is both a tribute to Ellington's restless genius and a revealing account of the private as well as the public man".
