Duke Ellington

Portrait of a lion

Description

Duke Ellington is undoubtedly the only jazzman to be considered an authentic artist, celebrated as a composer much more than as a performer. He always viewed his work as a musician as the construction of a body of work, with the ambition of creating a new musical language capable of expressing in its very form the emotions, colors, and characters of African Americans, even the most opposed. From the profane to the sacred, from dance to opera, through blues and gospel, his music aims to be the emergence of blacks in culture.
