New features include Spanish translations for:

-the second part of the Ellington biography by Donald Clarke.

-composer/arranger/bandleader David Berger's article "Notes On Playing Ellington".

-the Ellington chapter in Baron Timme Ronsenkrantz' s autobiography, as recently translated into English by Fradley Garner -in fact he is still looking for a publisher- from the original Danish edition published on 1964.
