À propos de ce livre
"Breaking down walls between musical genres that are usually discussed separately--classical, jazz, and popular--this book offers a compelling new, integrated view of twentieth-century music. Placing Duke Ellington (1899-1974) at the center of the story, David Schiff explores music written during the composer's lifetime in terms of such broad ideas as rhythm, melody, and harmony. He shows how composers and performers across genres shared the common pursuit of representing the rapidly changing conditions of modern life ... The Ellington Century demonstrates how Duke Ellington's music is as vital to musical modernism as anything by Stravinsky and more influential than anything by Schoenberg, and how it has had a lasting impact on jazz and pop that reaches from Gershwin to contemporary R & B."--Jacket.
