	Seven Decades of the Duke
		Ellington was the first jazz artist to inspire the kind of serious study previously reserved for music in the European classical tradition; he was also the first jazz artist who regularly inspired writers to an emotional fever pitch.
		Ellington himself, of course, provided much of "the more intelligent jazz" throughout his career, and, as Tucker demonstrates, he was the inspiration for some of the more intelligent writing about jazz, which eventually helped to drown out the elitist nattering of Winthrop Sargeant and his ilk.
		In discussing the Ellington band's 1939 European tour, for instance, he writes that after performing in the Netherlands "the next logical venue for Ellington and his ensemble would have been Germany, but the Nazis disliked fl people and their music." Even a jazz neophyte probably does not need to be told this.
