Memoir
Music Is My Mistress
About this book
Duke Ellington remembers his life in music through stories about the players, audiences, and places he encountered. His portraits of other musicians are part of how he tells his own story. The memoir gives readers the perspective of a bandleader for whom composing, traveling, and getting to know the people in an orchestra were closely connected.
