One of the 20th centurys finest composers, Duke Ellington's rise to super-stardom was borne of his unconventional skills as a band leader. He gave all his musicians plenty of scope to improvise and interpret his ideas in differing ways. The result of such talented musicians experimenting under the stewardship of such a maverick composer created a whole new sound and a large collection of wonderful hits.
