Description:

For nearly fifty years, Edward Kennedy 'Duke' Ellington was one of America's most famous musicians. Tucker traces Ellington's childhood and young adult years in Washington, D.C. where he got his start as a ragtime pianist, and also draws on accounts from newspapers, periodicals, and trade publications.
