Full textThe work of Edward “Duke” Ellington is both unique and emblematic, featuring several thousand compositions, performed by the longest-ever lasting jazz orchestra. Conductor, pianist and composer all at once, Ellington revisited and rearranged some of his pieces throughout his career, in through various arrangements that sometimes differed greatly from the first recording.These multiple versions of the same composition underline the very notion of a musical work in jazz, which differs from that usually accepted in the field of classical music. If the composer is constantly recreating his work, does this mean that it remains unfinished? Or can we consider each version of the composition to be a work of art? Our question requires us to rethink the definition of a musical work in our field of study, jazz, and in particular in the case of Ellington's music, in order to understand his creative process.A large number of archival sources and publications have helped study this question in a cross-disciplinary way. Yet few works have examined the evolution of Ellington's arrangements, and no study has been made of the evolution of Ellington's compositions over his entire career.In order to understand the reasons for and modalities of this creative process, a corpus of five compositions has been identified, whose versions are both numerous and very different from one another: “Mood Indigo”, “Solitude”, “In a Sentimental Mood”, “Sophisticated Lady” and “Black and Tan Fantasy”, for which we have recordings dating from 1927 (date of the creation of “Black & Tan Fantasy”) to 1973.We rely on the recorded versions of the five compositions in this corpus, as well as on numerous documents: manuscript scores, direct testimonies from Ellington and his musicians, publications from Ellington's lifetime, and even more recent musicological works, to understand the reasons and circumstances behind the production of these new arrangements. We also produced musicological analyses, enriched by interviews with some of the orchestra's musicians.This work led us to consider the versions incorporated in medleys, a typical form of Ellington's public performances. These featured the main part of the orchestra's activity, and proved to be a determining factor in Ellington's creative process. The evolution of the compositions performed, night after night, by the same musicians, was as much a matter of course on stage as in the recording studio.Finally, Ellington's artistic vision, his art of the stage and his relationship with the audience, lead us to consider the Ellington concert as a work of art in itself. The study of concert programs and the analysis of setlists help to establish this new concept of “concert as work of art” as a fundamental element of Ellingtonian creation
