The Essence and Duke Ellington
This memoir offers an intimate look at the life and spirit of jazz legend Duke Ellington, as experienced by his collaborator Vince Prudente. Working alongside Ellington for two years towards the end of his career was a highlight of Prudente's own professional journey.
Through stories and reflections on his time with Ellington and other jazz greats, Prudente sheds light on what drives musicians to create this unique music, as well as the human side of one of America's most iconic figures.
