About Duke Ellington
Duke Ellington, or by his full birth name Edward Kennedy Ellington, was one of the most influential figures in jazz history. He himself preferred referring to his music as American music, not jazz. But a look at the musicians who made up the Duke Ellington band reveals a clear jazz orientation, with the greatest names in the genre playing under the Duke - Johnny Hodges, Ben Webster, Paul Gonsalves, Bubber Miley, Ray Nance, Joe 'Tricky Sam' Nanton, Jimmy Blanton and Sonny Greer.
