Examining the music of Duke Ellington and James P Johnson, this title places the concert works of these two iconic figures in context through an investigation of both related compositions by black and white peers as well as symphonic jazz-style arrangements from a number of early sound films, Broadway musicals, and Harlem nightclub floor shows.
