Duke Ellington

Duke Ellington is quite possibly the greatest musician and composer of the 20th century--certainly one of the top five. As a composer, he wrote thousands of songs and arranged and rearranged those and others during his lifetime. He wrote his songs for the individual musicians in his orchestra and not for "sections." As a band leader, he performed nearly constantly for most of his career. As a musician, he was a giant, considered one of the best pianists of his era. And unlike most of his contemporaries, he was able to update his work, modernizing it to blend into the sound of the decade in which he was creating. Ellington''s orchestra was his main vehicle, and he worked with his orchestra--though it changed constantly--throughout his career, recording more than 200 albums.
