Years later, on a steamy summer night, Duke heard that umpy-dump

played in a whole new way. Folks called the music ragtime—piano that

turned umpy-dump into a soul-rousing romp.

The ragtime music set Duke’s fingers to wiggling. Soon he was back at the

piano, trying to plunk out his own ragtime rhythm. One-and-two-and-one-

and-two . . . At first, this was the only crude tinkling Duke knew.

But with practice, all Duke’s fingers rode the piano keys. Duke started to

play his own made-up melodies. Whole notes, chords, sharps, and f lats. Left-

handed hops and right-handed slides.

Believe it, man. Duke taught himself to press on the pearlies like nobody

else could. His one-and-two-umpy-dump became a thing of the past. Now,

playing the piano was Duke’s all-time love.

When Duke was nineteen, he was entertaining ladies and gents at parties,

pool halls, country clubs, and cabarets. He had fine-as-pie good looks and

f lashy threads. He was a ladies’ man, with f lair to spare. And whenever a

pretty-skinned beauty leaned on Duke’s piano, he played his best music,

compositions smoother than a hairdo sleeked with pomade.

It wasn’t long before Duke formed his own small band, a group of musicians

who played all over Washington, D.C. But soon they split the D.C. scene and

made tracks for New York City—for Harlem, the place where jazz music ruled.

They called themselves the Washingtonians, and performed in all kinds

of New York City honky-tonks. Barron’s Exclusive. The Plantation. Ciro’s.

And the Kentucky Club. Folks got to know the band by name and came to

hear them play.

Then, on an autumn day in 1927, Lady Luck smiled pretty on the

Washingtonians. They were asked to play at the Cotton Club, Harlem’s

swankiest hangout, a big-time nightspot.

The Cotton Club became a regular gig for Duke and his band. They grew

to twelve musicians and changed their name to Duke Ellington and His

Orchestra. Night after night, they played their music, which was broadcast

live over the radio.

For all those homebodies out in radio-lovers’ land—folks who only dreamed

of sitting pretty at the Cotton—the show helped them feel like they were out

on the town. Duke’s Creole Love Call was spicier than a pot of jambalaya.

His Mood Indigo was a musical stream that swelled over the airwaves.

Sometimes the Orchestra performed their tunes straight-up. But other

nights, when the joint started to jump, Duke told his band to play whatever

came to mind—to improvise their solos. To make the music f ly! And they did.

Each instrument raised its own voice. One by one, each cat took the

f loor and wiped it clean with his own special way of playing. Sonny Greer

pounded out the bang of jump-rope feet on the street with his snare drum.

A subway beat on his bass drum. A sassy ride on his cymbal. Sonny’s

I really like the way the author uses words here. “Press on the pearlies” is so much more descriptive and colorful than “play the piano.” I also like the phrase “one-and-two-umpy-dump” to describe Duke’s previous playing. It helps me understand that the old way of playing was boring.

DUKE ELLINGTON

108 Theme 4 • Week 1

Duke Ellingtonby Andrea Davis Pinkney

You ever hear of the jazz-playin’ man, the man with the cats who could swing

with his band? He was born in 1899, in Washington, D.C. Born Edward Kennedy

Ellington. But wherever young Edward went, he said, “Hey, call me Duke.”

Duke’s name fit him rightly. He was a smooth-talkin’, slick-steppin’,

piano-playin’ kid. But his piano playing wasn’t always as breezy as his stride.

When Duke’s mother, Daisy, and his father, J. E., enrolled him in piano

lessons, Duke didn’t want to go. Baseball was Duke’s idea of fun. But his

parents had other notions for their child.

Duke had to start with the piano basics, his fingers playing the same

tired tune—one-and-two-and-one-and-two. Daisy and J. E. made Duke

practice day after day.

To Duke, one-and-two wasn’t music. He called it an umpy-dump sound

that was headed nowhere worth following. He quit his lessons and kissed the

piano a fast good-bye.

Focus QuestionsRead these questions to focus students as they listen for particular words and phrases they enjoy hearing.

• Listen for words and phrases you enjoy hearing. How do these words and phrases affect the way you think and feel about the people and music described in this biography?

• What are some of the words and phrases the author uses that you particularly like? Why do you like these words and phrases?

F Q

Appreciative Listening

Modeled ReadingRead aloud Duke Ellington as students listen. Pause at the points suggested in

order to support the listening skill (Appreciative Listening), and model a Think

Aloud related to the comprehension strategy (Determine Importance). Before

reading, discuss with students the use of informal language in the biography.

Explain that everyday speech often includes dropped letters and slang

expressions. Ask students to listen for informal language in the selection and

think about how the words and phrases help convey the tone and mood of jazz.

Duke introduced Black, Brown, and Beige at New York’s Carnegie Hall, a

symphony hall so grand that even the seats wore velvet. Few African-Americans

had played at Carnegie Hall before. Duke and his Orchestra performed on

January 23, 1943. Outside, the winter wind was cold and slapping. But inside,

Carnegie Hall was sizzling with applause. Duke had become a master maestro.

Because of Duke’s genius, his Orchestra now had a musical mix like no other.

Now you’ve heard of the jazz-playin’ man. The man with the cats who

could swing with his band.

King of the Keys.

Piano Prince.

Edward Kennedy Ellington.

The Duke.

Truly a DukeEdward Kennedy “Duke” Ellington, born April 29, 1899, was a forerunner

in the evolution of jazz. He composed and played swing music, one of the

best-loved jazz forms to grace the American music scene.

The roots of jazz encompass several types of music—blues, ragtime, folk

music, and marches—that originated from the musical traditions of African-

American people. Since its birth in the early twentieth century, jazz has

grown to include many styles that remain popular today.

In 1927 Duke Ellington and His Orchestra began a highly successful

engagement at Harlem’s renowned Cotton Club, a run that lasted five years.

By the early 1930s Duke began to produce complex, original arrangements

that resembled the music of classical orchestras, yet were still popular among

all kinds of music lovers. Sophisticated Lady and I Got It Bad are among the

most memorable.

Duke composed some of these tunes together with Billy Strayhorn, which

made his band a force to be reckoned with. Duke’s Orchestra toured the

United States and abroad, delighting audiences wherever they went.

On January 23, 1943, Duke performed a concert at Carnegie Hall. Though

some jazz musicians had played there before, few had performed elaborate music

like Duke’s. Duke wrote Black, Brown, and Beige especially for the event. This

composition showed the world that Duke Ellington was an accomplished composer,

a symphonic master whose music had come to be regarded as beyond category.

During the more than fifty years of his celebrated career, Duke wrote

and composed at least one thousand compositions (some say as many as

five thousand), including ballet and film scores, orchestral suites, musicals,

and choral works. More than eight hundred musicians appeared with his

Orchestra during its years on the road.

Duke Ellington died on May 24, 1974, but his musical genius is far

from gone. His inf luence on the history of music—and on musicians

everywhere—continues even today.

Idioms Review the meaning of “they were cuttin’ the rug.” In this story, it means they were dancing. People danced to Duke Ellington’s music.

110 Theme 4 • Week 1

Determine Importance The author tells us that Joe “Tricky Sam” Norton played a smooth trombone with a tropical lilt. I think this information is important because it describes how Norton’s music sounded. Although interesting, I don’t think it is important that Norton nodded to Otto “Toby” Hardwick to take over when he was through.

Turn and TalkListen carefully as I read the next two paragraphs, then share with your partner what you think is important and what you think is interesting but unimportant.

!Think Aloud 2

percussion was smooth and steady. Sometimes only his drumsticks made the

music, cracking out the rattly beat of wood slapping wood.

Along with Sonny, Joe “Tricky Sam” Norton went to work on his trombone,

sliding smooth melodic gold. He stretched the notes to their full tilt, pushing

and pulling their tropical lilt. When Tricky Sam was through, he’d nod to

Otto “Toby” Hardwick. “Your turn,” he’d say. “Take the f loor, Daddy-O!”

Toby let loose on his sleek brass sax, curling his notes like a kite tail in

the wind. A musical loop-de-loop, with a serious twist.

Last came James “Bubber” Miley, a one-of-a-kind horn player. He could

make his trumpet wail like a man whose blues were deeper than the deep blue

sea. To stir up the sound of his low-moan horn, Bubber turned out a growl

from way down in his throat. His gutbucket tunes put a spell on the room.

Yeah, those solos were kickin’. Hot-buttered bop, with lots of sassy-cool

tones. When the band did their thing, the Cotton Club performers danced

the Black-Bottom, the Fish-Tail, and the Suzy-Q. And while they were cuttin’

the rug, Duke slid his honey-colored fingers across the ivory eighty-eights.

The word on Duke and his band spread, from New York to Macon to

Kalamazoo and on to the sunshiny Hollywood Hills. The whole country

soon swung to Duke’s beat. Once folks got a taste of Duke’s soul-sweet

music, they hurried to the record stores, asking:

“Yo, you got the Duke?”

“Slide me some King of the Keys, please!”

“Gonna play me that Piano Prince and his band!”

People bought Duke’s records—thousands of them.

In 1939, Duke hired Billy Strayhorn, a musician who wrote songs.

Billy became Duke’s ace, his main man. Duke and Billy worked as a team.

Together they composed unforgettable music. Billy’s song Take the “A” Train

was one of the greatest hits of 1941.

With the tunes that he and Billy wrote, Duke painted colors with his

band’s sound. He could swirl the butterscotch tones of Tricky Sam’s horn

with the silver notes of the alto saxophones. And, ooh, those clarinets.

Duke could blend their red-hot blips with a purple dash of brass from the

trumpet section.

In time, folks said Duke Ellington’s real instrument wasn’t his piano at

all—it was his Orchestra. Most people called his music jazz. But Duke called

it “the music of my people.”

And to celebrate the history of African-American people, Duke composed

a special suite called Black, Brown, and Beige. A suite that rocked the bosom

and lifted the soul.

Black, Brown, and Beige sang the glories of dark skin, the pride of African

heritage, and the triumphs of black people, from the days of slavery to years

of civil rights struggle.

That makes me think the information about playing regularly at the Cotton Club is important. So is the fact that his band grew in size and changed its name to Duke Ellington and His Orchestra. I also think the information about the music being broadcast over the radio is important. However, I think the fact that the show made radio listeners feel like they were out on the town is interesting but unimportant.

!Think Aloud

1 Build Reading SkillsTeach Vocabulary: Explain, Restate, ShowA. Explain the Terms Read the information on Sourcebook page 112 aloud and

explain the new terms: melody The melody of a song is the main tune. harmony When different tunes in a song go together well, they form a harmony. broadcast To broadcast a television or radio program means to send it over

the airwaves.

B. Restate and Show the Terms Have small groups discuss the meaning of each word. Then have students write their own explanations and graphic depictions of words in their vocabulary journals. Students can use Picture It on page 113 to guide them.

Teach Grammar: Proper NounsA. Identify Proper Nouns Write the following spelling words on the board:

Connecticut, December, Geronimo, Titanic, Australia. Read the words aloud together.

B. Classifying Proper Nouns Remind students that proper nouns name specific people, places, or things. Have students classify the proper nouns by type: person (Geronimo), place (Connecticut, Australia), or thing (December, Titanic). Then ask students to indicate which common noun each proper noun is associated with. (Geronimo: person, Connecticut: state, Australia: country, December: month, Titanic: ship)

His pounding rhythm made the skeleton hop

Off its hook and onto the table top

It rumba’d and calypso’d and do-si-do’d

Those bones did the two-step to a minor mode.

At straight up noon, Uncle Rafe swung low.

And his cool vibrations made ketchup lava flow

Across the floor and loop d’ loop

It sailed right through the basketball hoop.

Uncle’s music moved us all in a major way.

Yeah, my ribbon was blue at the end of the day!

You should’ve heard those science judges rave,

When we showed them how to ride a sound wave.

Rafe ripped a riff so wild and true

It lifted my Mrs. M

This exhibit shows how the ear

works. The outer part of a person’s

ear collects sound waves as the waves

travel through the air. These waves

strike tiny bones in the middle ear

and cause them to vibrate. The inner

ear picks up the vibrations, and the

brain recognizes them as sound.

People who have difficulty hearing

may benefit from a hearing aid. A hearing

aid is a device that makes sounds louder.

This exhibit compares the loudness of different sounds. Scientists measure loudness in decibels (dB). A busy street is louder than an average home. Sounds louder than a vacuum cleaner can cause hearing loss over time. Very loud sounds, like jet planes, can cause immediate

hearing loss. This chart shows

a few sounds that the exhibit compared.

This exhibit explores what laughing,

crying, singing, and shouting have in

common. People make these sounds

using folds of tissue called vocal

cords. As air passes between these

folds, the folds vibrate to produce

sounds. Children’s vocal cords are

short, and they cause the air to vibrate

very quickly. This produces sounds with a high

pitch. In adults, the vibration of air is much slower,

producing sounds with a lower pitch.

by Mary Dylewski

ound is everywhere. Birds chirp sweetly on a warm, spring day. A musician plays a gentle melody on a flute. Thunder booms during a downpour. But, what is sound ? Most dictionaries define sound as anything that can be heard. Scientists define sound as energy that travels in vibrating waves. We hear sound when these vibrating waves make an object or the material around it move. I spent a few hours touring sound exhibits at the science museum to find out more

2 Read and Comprehend Interactive Reading

!Comprehension Strategy Determine Importance

Teach Target Skill: Identify Point of ViewA. Introduce Point of View Remind students that point of view in writing refers to

who is telling the story to the reader—the story’s speaker. The most common points of view are fi rst person and the all-knowing third person. In fi rst-person narration, the speaker is a character in the story and often uses I or me. The speaker relates only the information he or she knows or can see. In all-knowing third-person narration, the speaker can see into the minds of all the characters. Sometimes stories are told by third-person narrators who see into the mind of only one character or who can’t see into the minds of any characters, but only report what they can observe from the outside.

B. Reinforce the Concept Guide students to give examples of points of view in things they have recently read.

Connect to Prior Knowledge: “I Love a Piano” • How does piano music make you feel? • Why do you think writers often use a first-person point of view in songs and poems? • Set Purpose: Let’s listen to determine the song’s point of view.Interactive ReadingA. Read the Song and Identify Point of View: “I Love a Piano” Have

students close their eyes and imagine the scene as you read “I Love a Piano.” Discuss what type of point of view the song uses. (fi rst person)

The traveler quickly walked to the nearest inn. He approached the innkeeper and asked for some food to eat with his bread. The innkeeper was not fond of beggars, and waved him away in disgust. As the traveler turned to leave, he noticed a delicious smell drifting from the kitchen. He peeked in, and saw a large pot of soup bubbling over a fire.

“This soup smells wonderful,” thought the traveler. “If only there were a way to get a taste.” The traveler was becoming discouraged, but he then had a brilliant idea. He could hold his piece of bread over the steam. Surely this would capture some of the soup’s taste. The traveler walked toward the pot, until it was within arm’s length. He then extended his arm above the pot, holding the bread carefully between his fingers.

“Thief!” an angry voice shouted from the doorway. The startled traveler spun around in shock. The innkeeper dashed wildly into the kitchen and violently seized the traveler’s arm. “Thief!” the innkeeper cried again. “You have stolen my soup!”

A Tale from Turkey retold by Melissa Blackwell Burke

Long ago, there lived a man who had fallen on hard times. He became a traveler, wandering from place to place, begging for money to buy food. Many people ignored him, causing the man great despair. One day, a woman spotted the traveler through a thick crowd, and she took pity on him. Without saying a word, she held out her hand and offered the man a piece of bread. The woman had little to give, and this was all she could spare.

The woman’s generosity startled the traveler. Nobody had paid attention to him like this before. When he tried to thank the woman, she turned abruptly and hurried on her way. As she disappeared into the crowd, the man began to smile. For the first time in weeks, he felt hope. He looked at his piece of bread in amazement and thought, “How nice it would be if I had something to put on this bread!”

!Review Comprehension Strategy Ask Questions

Connect to Prior Knowledge: The Smell of Soup and the Sound of Money—A Tale from Turkey • Have you ever known anyone who has been unjustly charged with a crime? • What do you think the smell of soup should cost? • Set Purpose: Let’s read to find out what a judge thought the smell of soup

was worth.

1. Build Vocabulary and Background Knowledge Distribute copies of the Interactive Reading 2 Text Organizer. Begin by explaining the pictures of the woman giving the traveler a piece of bread, the traveler holding the bread over a steaming pot of soup, the innkeeper catching the traveler, and the judge ruling that the sound of money is fair payment for the smell of soup. Have students tell about each picture as they point to it while beginners use primary language and gestures to communicate their ideas. Tell students that this story explores what is fair payment for the smell of soup.

2. Develop Grammar: Non-Count Nouns Say I want soup. We all want soup. Tell students that even though the second sentence is talking about more than one bowl of soup, soup does not have an s on the end. Explain that soup is treated like a singular noun, whether you are talking about soup for you or soup for everyone. To help students understand how soup differs from nouns that add s for the plural, replace soup with an apple and apples in the sentences above.
