Published by The interview appeared in the April number of 'Crescendo' magazine London, 1964
Manuscript / Paper Collectible
The interview retitled 'Duke looks back and forward | in an interview with Les Tompkins' features on pp.6-7 of the April 1964 number of 'Crescendo'. (Sammy Davis Jr features on the cover, with the announcement 'NOT A WORD ABOUT THE BEATLES!') Three items, the typescript of the interview and two accompanying pieces (one not used). All three in good condition, lightly aged. ONE: Carbon typescript, titled 'That's where the tailoring comes in | Duke Ellington talks to Les Tomkins'. 6pp, 4to. On six leaves, stapled together at a corner. Of particular interest in this typescript is the following passage suppressed in the published version in which Ellington names Jimmy Forrest as one of his imitators: 'we've had people like Jimmy Forrest who took a couple of pages out of our book, wrote a number and called it something else. It became the biggest thing since "St. Louis Blues". And that's "Night Train" - you know, from "Happy Go Lucky Local"'. In a couple of instances the typescript appears closer to Ellington's voice than the published version. It features the Americanism 'specialty', rather than the published 'speciality'; and has the following passage which was recast for publication: '[ ] and as the refreshments would take over and he would roll of the piano stool why, they would call in the soda jerker [i.e. Ellington] to come and play the piano.' The published version reads: 'As the refreshments took over and he rolled off the piano stool, they'd call in the soda jerker to play the piano.' Other changes are relatively minor: 'Some people don't like to have to what is it? [ ] to follow something they are not familiar with' printed as 'Some people don't like to have to apply themselves. [ ] to follow something unfamiliar'; 'Then you don't have to worry about how many drinks you take' printed as 'Then they don't have to worry about how many drinks they take'; 'the English audience has' printed as 'the British audiences have'; 'is a thing which is rare' printed as 'is rare'. In the typescript the preamble to the article ends rather lamely, 'However, here are some of his interesting utterances about:', this is replaced in the printed version with 'But the printed words alone have their own value. L.T.' In addition the published version exhibits a few minor editorial changes, such as the correction of 'fit' to 'fitted' and 'less notes' to 'fewer notes'. The typescript has the following headings: 'His jazz beginnings', 'When he was a fixer', 'The men in the band', 'Billy Strayhorn', 'Their writing approach', 'Ellington imitators', 'His view of the present band' and 'His view of the future'. These are replaced in the published version by 'Smart', 'So loud!', 'Cutting', 'Renaissance' and 'Protection'. TWO: Carbon typescript headed: 'The Duke presents a bouquet to our audiences'. 1p, 4to. Published in a box at bottom left of first page of interview under the title 'An Ellington bouquet'. THREE: Carbon typescript of one-sentence quotation from Ellington, under title 'Duke Ellington's comments on Crescendo'. 1p, 4to. Reads: 'I think it's wonderful reading. And it's very exciting, thrilling interesting, mainly and enjoyable.' This endorsement does not appear to have been used by the magazine. The material comes from an archive of typescripts by Tomkins of his Crescendo contributions, including interviews with Louis Armstrong, Sonny Rollins, Bud Freeman, Stan Tracey, Erroll Garner, Stan Kenton, Quincy Jones, Joe Turner, Tubby Hayes, Stan Getz.

Notarized at lower margin of page 2. Ellington agrees to compose music for the television series, "The Asphalt Jungle. The show, which appeared in ABC in the summer of 1961, bore little resemblance to the 1950 film, and in fact is only remembered today for Ellington's brash them song. Signed by Author(s).

Excellent original caricature of Ellington (dated '32), a copy of the famous Al Hirschfeld caricature, in itself a superbly stylised rendering and first published on 19 April 1931 in The Des Moines Register. The signature appears to be an attempt to reproduce Hirschfeld's famous "concertina-ed" autograph. "Al's iconic caricature was one of the most-frequently used designs in theatre ads for Ellington during the early and mid-1930s" (Al Hirschfeld Foundation, online). In 1932 Duke had just concluded his first period at the Cotton Club, and was in the midst of a particularly fruitful period, even for an artist so consistently creative, 1932 saw the release of "It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing)", the following years saw a succession of some of his most enduringly popular tunes - "Sophisticated Lady" 1933, "Solitude" 1934, "In a Sentimental Mood", 1935. Pen, ink and water-colour sketch with pencil under-drawing on card (245 x 162 mm). A few small nicks at the edges, but overall very good.
