Edward Kennedy ‘Duke’ Ellington
細節
Music is my Mistress
Edward Kennedy ‘Duke’ Ellington
ELLINGTON, Edward Kennedy ‘Duke’ (1899-1974). Music is my Mistress. Garden City, New York: Doubleday, 1973.
First edition, signed and inscribed by Duke Ellington. Inscribed in black felt pen on the first blank ‘To my friend Mort Lawrence, Good Luck, Duke Ellington’. We are unable to trace any other inscribed copies in auction records. The scarcity is no doubt due to the short period of only six months between the publication of his autobiography in November 1973, and Ellington’s death in May 1974. The present copy was presented by Ellington to Mort Lawrence, an actor and voice artist who had worked on New York radio station WMCA’s groundbreaking series New World A’Coming, for which Ellington wrote the theme song.
Octavo. Portrait frontispiece and numerous illustrations. Original black cloth gilt, blue endpapers, with the dust-jacket (light rubbing to corners, triangular chip to upper panel).
