@=dwvl' W G1G*TSf Lb} $)AcC Duke Ellington （1899年 - 1974年）传记: a}[ 1*_G u:M)JG XxLauJP
K 在他逝世的时候，他被视为世界上最杰出的作曲家、音乐家。法国政府授予他最高荣誉军团奖，美国政府授予他最高荣誉公民，总统自由勋章。在他50年的演艺生涯中，他曾参加过两万次表演献艺，他就是公爵，Duke Ellington 。
uO5y{O2W l'twy$V4|~ Edward Kennedy Ellington，生于1899年4月29日的华盛顿，他的父母Daisy Kennedy Ellington 和James Edward Ellington，给年轻的公爵做很好的榜样，并教导他一切，从正确的餐桌礼仪到认识音乐的情感力量，Duke大约在七 八岁左右开始上钢琴课，但他似乎对此没有多大兴趣，年轻时代的Duke好像更倾向于棒球运动。Duke的第一份工作是在华盛顿参议员的棒球比赛上售卖花生。Duke14岁时，就开始混入Frank Holliday台球厅，他除了欣赏台球外，还结交了很多朋友。Duke对钢琴课已淡化成过去，Duke开始对艺术表演有极大的兴趣，Duke进了Armstrong职业培训学校，学习商业艺术，而不是到一个专业艺术院校学习。 Duke在夏天期间，和母亲前往费城或大西洋城，在华盛顿聆听ragtime的钢琴组曲。休假时在Asbury公园，Duke听到一个热门钢琴家名叫Harvey Brooks，在假期结束时，Duke在费城找到了Harvey，Harvey教了他一些钢琴的手法和技巧。经 Duke后来叙述，" 回家后我渴望成为一个真正的钢琴家，我也不能落后于别人。但听他这么说，我心想：'你一定会这样做。'" 于是，Duke Ellington的音乐生涯诞生了 。
ayr CLv C^*3nd3 Duke 经常在舞台下观看Oliver "Doc" Perry 和 Louis Brown的演出，有助于提高整体钢琴演奏技巧，在华盛顿的俱乐部和咖啡馆，找到一份演奏钢琴的职位，停止了差三个月就毕业的学业，开始其专业的音乐生涯 。1917年底，他成立了首个乐团：The Duke’s Serenaders。
lB*H L C .^V9XN{'a 1918年和1919年间，Duke进行了三次重大步骤:
Z!2%{HQ=q mY&(&'2T" 首先，他搬出父母亲的家，住到他自己买的家里。
+MyXIWmD &sg~owz 第二，他成为自己乐队的售票代理，这样，Ellington的乐队，能够使整个华盛顿地区和佛吉尼亚私人球赛协会和大使馆，都能看到演出。
9z k RwrQ ]4eIhj? 最后，Duke和Edna Thompson结婚，1919年3月11日，Mercer Kennedy Ellington诞生了。
\`Ow)t: XB ; C~: 1923年，Duke离开华盛顿，移居纽约。通过电台广播，整个纽约的听众都认识了Duke Ellington，使他成为了流行音乐家。 也正是这一年，他首次录制唱片，Ellington乐队改名。然而在这期间，华盛顿州的人，规定他们在一些专属俱乐部演出，如Connie’s Inn，the Hollywood Club (Club Kentucky)，Ciro’s， the Plantation Club，以及最重要的 Cotton Club。由于不断上升的电台收听率和业界本身的良好发展，Duke的乐队在全国播出，靠"棉花俱乐部" 的号召力，乐队的音乐，加上自己的人气，迅速蔓延。
=H;F{J " 5DmW5w 'p 1928年，Ellington和Irving Mills签订协议，并印制Ellington的音乐。与唱片公司如Brunswick, Columbia, and Victor 签订和约。 Duke的乐队成了在美国，甚至整个世界最流行的乐队。 Duke Ellington最伟大作品括："Rockin’ in Rhythm," "Satin Doll," "NewOrleans," "A Drum is a Women," "Take the 'A' Train," "Happy-Go-Lucky Local," "The Mooche," 和 "Crescendo in Blue."。Duke Ellington和他的乐队还到处演出，从纽约到新德里，芝加哥到开罗，伦敦和洛杉矶，Ellington的乐队还和包括：Miles Davis, Cab Calloway, Dizzy Gillespie, Ella Fitzgerald, Tony Bennett 和 Louis Armstrong等一起合作演出。他们每个人都得到女王伊丽莎白二世和尼克松总统的宴请。1974年逝世前，数百首Duke Ellington的录音和作曲，所有这些都将继续产生持久的影响，为世人所敬仰。
