Duke Ellington and His World by A. H. Lawrence Book Review

Name: Samuel
Rating: 4.0 out of 5 stars
Title: Just because it's no Rosebud doesn't justify dismissal
Date: Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2010
Review: [Now that I have the book in hand, I can see why it might irritate and even offend a few Ellington fans. The writer doesn't show a great deal of sympathy much less empathy for the Duke's human qualities much less any insights into the pressures of the music business, multiplied manyfold when you're the star-icon-leader-moderator-party guest-soloist-legend from whom much is expected. The book reports a number of facts, and no doubt "factoids," about Duke's life much in the manner of a tabloid publication. Nevertheless, for those who know Duke, and who think they can feel his beating heart next to theirs, it's great to have the information. The reader is free to dismiss and accept, and to flesh out and qualify as need be. I wouldn't recommend the book for a newbie or "outsider"any more than some of the below-the-belt sniping accounts of Sinatra's life. But unlike so many Americans these days, who apparently never lived through the '60s--or perhaps never went beyond the Salem witch trials--I have no difficulty matching some of the unpleasantries about Duke with the equally unattractive qualities of the reader. So judgment is beside the point not to mention premature (shouldn't it be preceded by understanding?). The book is no accolade or encomium, nor does it do such a great job in communicating the positive qualities of Duke. But if you're a good reader (which implies an "active" reader), you will be a participant with the author, perhaps supplying the other voice, or alternative point of view, when it's missing.

Regarding the unresolved question of why Duke would not continue with drummer Bobby Durham, the Maestro would no doubt feel comfortable with a "swing machine" like Bobby, a favorite drummer of Oscar Peterson and Monty Alexander. Not enough has been made of the impact of Oscar Peterson on swing. He made the absolutely synchronous, unfailing statement of the bass note and hi-hat a requirement for a sense of swing so kinetic it elevates the listener, no less than a meditating follower of the Maharishi, right off the floor. The "freedom" communicated by the Oscar-modeled rhythm section belies the drill-team requisites to its achievement. Duke's sense of time is looser, more related to the New Orleans bands, than the rhythm sections-on-ball-bearings that followed in Oscar's wake. My guess is that Duke felt like Bobby was climbing all over him and preferred a drummer who was a tad more forgiving with his beat. In fact, Duke's use of the rhythm section more often brings to mind Monk than Oscar.]

A Google search led me to this book, which has been printed on the internet, and I soon found myself addicted. I never knew that Bobby Durham (phenomenal drummer) had played half a year with the band let alone been fired by Duke (who is said never to have fired any musician). So what if the book relies on too few interviews, is not reliable, is less than 100% positive in its praise of Duke Ellington. I'd rather hear what Mercer Ellington or Lawrence Brown actually had to say than read another one of those faux new journalism accounts in which one author presumes to tell us what Miles Davis and all of his detractors actually "thought." If you're aware of Duke Ellington's significance and accomplishments you can't help but welcome one more piece of the puzzle, regardless of how small a piece it is. I started trying to print the thing before realizing the cost to my sleep, stamina, and finances. Thank goodness, I found a copy on Amazon. Ten previous reviewers have given the book a single star. From the pages I read I can tell you right now that there's no way it can been less than three. And if, after receiving and reading the entire book, I'm wrong, you'll be the first to hear about it--and I promise not to attempt reselling it.

Title: Complete history of Duke Ellington

Review: A very detailed history of not only Duke Ellington but a history of every musician who played in Duke's orchestras. Also a biography of all the many people in his life. Very complete.

Title: Odd
Date: Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2006
Review: I found this book reasonably entertaining, approaching, you might say "attacking", Duke Ellington from a psychologizing angle. Interesting. Few people ever really knew Ellington, and the ones who did didn't talk much about him, at least not in any revealing way. And the man was clearly an affable narcissist, with a tendency to be passively cruel to band members and some family members. If this personality hadn't existed, Thomas Mann would have invented him, with a little help from Freud. And of course there's nothing wrong with taking a figure so frequently deified down a couple of pegs. So the author's tack seemed, for the nonce, acceptable.

Unfortunately, I noticed quite a few oddities, in dates, attribution of composer credit, and elsewhere. I also wondered how this guy could have interviewed all these old timers, this late in the era. And I'd never heard of a trombonist of this name who played with Benny Carter, Luis Russell etc. in the Forties. And though I'm a thorough Ellington fan and personal admirer, I'm no scholar. So I had to wait till I stumbled on the "brief" by Steven Lasker, who is a scholar, to realize what a hoax this book is. Stick "depanorama stratemann lasker lawrence routledge" into the google search engine. You'll get a issue of the Duke Ellington Music Society bulletin from late 2001. Read it before you buy this book.

Routledge didn't originate the contract on this book. They bought it from some other outfit. Routledge used to be a standard issue publisher of unreadable academic jabber of the paramarxist school, parasitizing on English universities. In the last few years they've tried to break into the American popular market. Hence opportunistic stuff like this.

There's a Duke Ellington industry out there, appealing to scholars, musicologists and plain enthusiasts of good music. So there are bogus reissues on CD and preposterous books like this. The same thing happens with Mark Twain; you come to expect it. But damn Routledge for getting involved in the seamy side of it as they scramble to find a place in the dwindling high end market.
