Duke EllingtonLegendary Composer and BandleaderSeries: Celebrating Black ArtistsBy Charlotte Etinde-Crompton and Samuel Willard Crompton DetailsDetails His was the greatest of talents, concealed beneath a carefree exterior. Duke Ellington possessed musical genius, which he claimed to exert for the glory of God and on behalf of his fellow African Americans. Readers will get to know the many sides of the legendary composer. The sunshiny smile displayed at concert time could sometimes be replaced by a frightful temper behind the scenes. Genius often comes at a price, but Duke Ellington's work is paramount. It includes 1,800 musical compositions and a virtually uncountable number of concert appearances. Readers will agree that his contributions belong to the ages.Publication Date: 07/15/2019Copyright: 2020Pages: 104Trim Size: 6 x 9Illustrations: Grade Level: 7–12Age Level: 12–17Dewey: 781.65092--dc23FormatsFormatISBNList PriceDiscount PriceLibrary Bound Book9781978503564$38.27$28.70Paperback Book9781978505315$20.95$17.85eBook9781978504141$38.27$28.70 Loading… Other books in Celebrating Black Artists 123 Loading… Loading… eBook: 9781978504141 List Price: $38.27 Discount Price: $28.70 + Add to wish list Library Bound Book: 9781978503564 List Price: $38.27 Discount Price: $28.70 + Add to wish list Paperback Book: 9781978505315 List Price: $20.95 Discount Price: $17.85 + Add to wish list Please log in Log in or register to create a wish list.
