These are my two young adult novels, which are being adopted by more and more middle and high schools, as well as by the education department of Jazz at Lincoln Center.  In addition, the Emmy Award winning filmmaker, Ken Kimmelman, is currently making a feature length, animated movie of Riding on Duke's Train.  Says the noted jazz critic Nat Hentoff:  "I knew Duke Ellington for over 25 years.  Duke was my mentor.  The Ellington in Riding on Duke's Train is the man I knew."
