{"product_id":"the-essence-and-duke-ellington-9781035814268","title":"The Essence and Duke Ellington","description":"I worked, toured, and recorded with Duke Ellington for the last two years of his life - a period that was the highlight of my career. In my memoirs, The Essence and Duke Ellington, I aim to convey the spirit within the heart of the jazz musician, particularly Duke Ellington. I want to show what drove him and other musicians, past and present, to play and compose this wonderful music. I also depict Duke Ellington's greatness as a human being, not as some super-human being, which he may well have been. I recount stories and reflect on my own experiences, expounding on what working with and learning from him and so many other jazz greats has meant to me.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Austin Macauley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/28\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781035814268\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.06lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.72d","brand":"Vince Prudente","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44431898509493,"sku":"9781035814268","price":18.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_25443a8a-9853-4af9-9394-add2c9ef1cb9.jpg?v=1721138752","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-essence-and-duke-ellington-9781035814268","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
