Duke Ellington war der King, der Duke des Big Band Jazz. Als Amerikas erfolgreichster Komponist und Songwriter steuerte er etliche Jazzstandards wie "Sophisticated Lady", "It don't mean a Thing", "C-Jam Blues," "Solitude," "Caravan," "Mood Indigo" or "Satin Doll", which demonstrated here Ellington and his orchestra.
It is not only visible, that Ellington was a great composer, but also that he is an incredible pianist and conductor was a Big Band, for his orchestral formations were legendary (for example, at the Newport Jazz Festival 1956).
changed with his way of composing and playing jazz Ellington and his musical legacy is still the repertoire of many - if not all - jazz musician.
