9 The very public debate between Ellington and one of his chief critics, John Hammond, is well documented. With racially tinged overtones, Hammond accused Ellington of abandoning jazz (i.e. dance music) after Ellington's first Carnegie Hall performance. The leftist had previously criticized Ellington's political standing as well. Tucker, Mark, ed., ‘The Debate in Jazz (1943)’, in The Duke Ellington Reader, ed.
