To learn about and celebrating
one of the most influential figures in jazz, this comprehensive
biography presents activities on creating a ragtime rhythm, making a washtub bass, writing song
lyrics, dancing the Lindy Hop, and even designing an album cover. While exploring
Ellington’s life and career, youngsters also learn about the Harlem Renaissance, the musical
evolution of jazz, and how technology has changed over the years—from
piano rolls and record albums to CDs, television, and portable music
devices. A time line, glossary, selected bibliography, and extensive
resources—including Ellington’s greatest recordings, related websites,
and recommendations for further study—are also included.
