gmonahan Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 A friend and colleague of mine who is a fine jazz pianist in his own right recently published a book on Ellington as pianist entitled _Duke Ellington as Pianist: A Study in Styles_. I thought some out there might be interested so here is the url: http://www.music.org/index.php?option=com_hikashop&ctrl=product&task=show&cid=60&name=volume-24-duke-ellington-as-pianist-a-study-of-styles&Itemid=108&fb_action_ids=10201772651095420&fb_action_types=og.recommends&fb_source=other_multiline&action_object_map={%2210201772651095420%22%3A585514004852530}&action_type_map={%2210201772651095420%22%3A%22og.recommends%22}&action_ref_map=[] gregmo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 Interesting. Nice assertion that all three styles existed from the beginning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milestones Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 (edited) Ellington is one of my favorite pianists ever. Listen to "Solitude" (Money Jungle), "Ad Lib on Nippon," and "Single Petal of a Rose." Edited January 1, 2014 by Milestones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazztrain Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 Mine too, but what do I know? According to Adam Gopnik in the New Yorker, "Ellington was a dance-band impresario who played no better than O.K. piano." Ellington is one of my favorite pianists ever. Listen to "Solitude" (Money Jungle), "Ad Lib on Nippon," and "Single Petal of a Rose." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
