"Duke's Bones",
By Allen Michie (Williamsburg, IA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Duke's 'Bones: Ellington's Great Trombonists (Paperback)
This is an excellent study of the great trombonists in Duke Ellington's orchestras over the years, starting with the greatest of them all: Tricky Sam Nanton. Brief but colorful biographical entries are followed by highly intelligent musical analyses and rare transcriptions. You don't have to be a trombonist (I'm certainly not) to appreciate this focused look at one piece of the puzzle that made up the mysterious and consistent beauty of Ellington's sound.

This review is from: Duke's 'Bones: Ellington's Great Trombonists (Paperback)
This is one of the only books that focuses on trombone players that I've seen in a long time. With richly painted biographies and some very good stories, you'll definitely like this book.As a trombone player myself, I loved it, but I think that anyone could read this book and really like it. |
