Ellington tells his story through family, friends, musicians, and travels, and his tale is accompanied by over 100 photographs. It is an intimate look at his commitment to his art form. The appendices list musicians, arrangers, lyricists, and even symphony orchestras with whom Ellington played. His compositions are listed chronologically, and the book includes a discography. For jazz fans and researchers interested in Ellington (and who wouldn’t be, because over 40 of the top 1000 jazz standards are Ellington tunes), this indispensable book is from the horse’s mouth. For song research, though, plan to look page by page as there is no index.
