Duke: A Life of Duke Ellington by Terry Teachout

3.0

I'm still struggling to figure out what I feel about this biography. I thought it got off to a rough start, unleashing all his faults in the intro. Im all for exposing humanity in mythic figures, but Mr. Teachout seems to want you to dislike him. I am also not an expert in music and disceting songs in musical terms left me puzzled.
