Description
Duke Ellington war einer der bedeutendsten Jazzkomponisten des 20. Jahrhunderts. Er war auch ein Pianist allerhöchsten Ranges. Sein eigentliches Instrument aber war seine Bigband mit ihren von ihm ganz individuell gestalteten Sounds. Zudem aber war Duke Ellington vor allem ein selbstbewusster Repräsentant Afro-Amerikas.Wolfram Knauer, Fachmann und Fan, stellt die Musik dieses Ausnahmekünstlers in den Mittelpunkt seines Bandes: die persönliche Herangehensweise Duke Ellingtons, die Aufnahmen, die neben den Strukturen der Musik immer auch deren besondere Interpretationsweise dokumentieren, die Klangsätze, das Streben nach Perfektion mit der dazugehörigen Freude an der Improvisationsfreiheit, am Risiko und am Unerwarteten. Ein Personen- und ein Songregister erleichtern die Orientierung.
