Duke Ellington. The life and times of the restless genius of jazz. Collier, Jame
Guter Zustand / good condition. Brownished paper Cover very slightly worn. - The jazz world has always been filled with interesting personalities: gun-slingers and saints, the beautiful and the damned. Few, however, have em-bodied in one personality as many contradictions as Duke Ellington. He was gregarious and, as one of his friends said, a devourer of relationships. But he was also reserved, a private man whom few people knew well. He could be unstintingly generous; but he could also argue with his musicians over petty amounts of money. He was infinitely loyal and kept on his pay-roll people who had outlived their usefulness; but he could manipulate the people around him ruthlessly for his own ends. Who the real Duke Ellington was is a mystery that fascinated even those who knew him well.
