The Beatles, Duke Ellington, and the Magic of Collaboration
Thomas Brothers New Hardback Illustrated
Postscript summary
Thomas Brothers’ musical analysis describes the creative processes of two of the most influential groups of the 20th century, demonstrating that they achieved their success by unusually effective collaboration. While Duke Ellington marshalled the talents in his orchestra, the Beatles enhanced the production and recording of songs written by a single person by including contributions from one another.
Product information
Full publisher description
The Beatles and Duke Ellington's Orchestra stand as the two greatest examples of collaboration in music history. 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.
While clarifying the historical record of who wrote what, with whom and how, Brothers brings the past to life with photos, anecdotes and more than thirty years of musical knowledge, and analysis of songs from "Strawberry Fields Forever" to "Chelsea Bridge". Help! describes in rich detail the music and mastery of two cultural leaders whose popularity has never dimmed, and the process of collaboration that allowed them to achieve an artistic vision greater than the sum of their parts.
