This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.
The Beatles and Duke Ellington's Orchestra stand as the two greatest examples of collaboration in music history. Duke University musicologist Thomas Brothers delivers a portrait of the creative process at work, demonstrating that the cooperative method at the foundation of these two artist-groups was the primary reason for their unmatched musical success.
I found this book to be very enlightening about the history of the music of Duke Ellington and the Beatles. Ellington's period of history allowed him to take credit for music and lyrics from his band. At the time of the Beatles both Lennon and McCartney shared the collaboration of their songs which worked for them. Lots of info that I never heard about. This is a must read if you love music.
