Libro Prima edizione
Soft cover. Condizione: As New. 1st Edition. First Da Capo Press edition, 1995. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread in AS NEW condition. "The most satisfying Ellington biography we'll ever see. Hasse's book is as engaging as it is informative."---John Litweiler. "One of the 20th century's greatest composers, Duke Ellington (1899-1974) led a fascinating life. BEYOND CATEGORY, the first biography to draw on the vast Duke Ellington archives at the Smithsonian Institution, recounts the entire range of his remarkable career: his childhood in Washington, D.C. and musical apprenticeship in Harlem; his long engagement at the glamorous, gangster-owned Cotton Club; his tours to Europe and into America's deep South, where he helped lower racial barriers; Ellington's own triumphant comeback at the 1956 Newport Jazz Festival; his collaborations with Billy Strayhorn, Johnny Hodges, Ella Fitzgerald and John Coltrane, among others. The art of Duke Ellington was a musical expression of the African-American experience in all its struggle, pride and glory. He composed his music as he composed his life---with flair, passion and individuality---and no book reveals the man and his artistic evolution more brilliantly than BEYOND CATEGORY." Pristine copy w/sharp corners & crisp edges, square & tight binding w/no creases in spine & no age toning on pages. All presentably giftable.
