people may have aid that he wa a
manipulative per on. The dif­
ference between manipulation and
charm is anybody' di 'cus ion."
Marian Logan (wife of Dr. Ar­
thur Logan, Ellington' closet
friend) on women: "Edward had
lots of lady friends, all of who made
the one fatal mistake of believing
they were the one. And there was
no uch animal. The one with Ed­
ward wa his music."
Hi son-Mercer Ellington. on the
death of Duke's mother: "It wa one
of the most stunning blows that
could ever have happened to him.
He didn't write anything of sig­
nificance for the next two to three
years."
Band singer Herb Jeffries on
Duke and politics: "Duke was not a
politician, and he wa n't intere ted
in politics. Duke was intere ted in
music. Music that has charm to
soothe the savage beast. And that
wa hi politic. And I think he
healed more people with his, music
and brought cornpas . ion into many
avagehumanbeing . and will con­
tinue to do so for many hundreds of
year.
Critic, essayist Albert Murray on
Duke's Aquacade and gymnasium
concerts: "He could take three guys
with trombones and stand up in a
gymna ium and put stained glass
windows in it in two bars." .
DUK ON THE inspiration for
his mu ic: "The ideas? Oh man. I
got a million dreams. That' all I do
i dream -- all the time."

thur Logan, the physician who saw

and wi th long-time collaborator
Billy Stryhorn; his intensely close
relationship with hi mother, who
fir t per uaded him he could do
anything he wanted; his strained
relationship with the music press

being too ambitious and too com­
mercial), his efforts to keep his or­

Although many activi ts felt that
Ellington should take an active part
in demon tration , Ellington in­
sisted on letting hi music and hi
life speak for him. "Whenever he
had anything to say," hi on Mer­
cer Ellington once explained, "he
aid aid it in hi music."
In 1974. Duke Ellington became
ill with an incurable cancer, but till
he kept up an incredible pace on the
road. "The music kept him going,"
says Mercede Ellington.
"It was the driving force for him.
It was omething he had to do,"
When he died in 1974. there wa.
va t public grief. Says Ellington
biographer Barry Ulanov, "There is
in Duke an extraordinary ense of
hi humble place in the most ex­
traordinary. the largest, the most
important of all enterprises: some­
how to expre s what it means to be
alive."
