Ian Marquis has created a playlist of all of the musical selections that Dr. Jack Chambers made, for what he said, was his final presentation to the Toronto Duke Ellington Society (TDES). The playlist includes not only links to the music but Jack's notes on each piece. Jack has made presentations annually to TDES since the year 2000. His final talk forms the basis for a chapter in Jack's soon to be published new book Ellington The Composer: Caught in the Act.
A Tone Parallel to Duke Ellington - The Man in the Music
Ian Marquis has created a companion to Jack Chambers’ book, A Tone Parallel to Duke Ellington. It consists of links to all of the pieces of music that Jack identifies in his book and in the order in which they appear so that readers can readily access the music as they proceed through the book. It may be updated from time to time as broken links require, users recommend updates, or other additions (such as quotes) are made. Go to:
