Happy Birthday Duke Ellington. [View all]

Jazz? Classical?

Couldn't figure which forum, so everyone enjoy this great composer and pianist.

Wikipedia:

Edward Kennedy "Duke" Ellington (April 29, 1899 – May 24, 1974) was an American jazz pianist, composer, and leader of his eponymous jazz orchestra from 1924 through the rest of his life. Music critic Ralph J. Gleason called him "America's most important composer".
