11 St. 59 Min, 16 März 1940 Jahr - Duke Ellington

Beschreibung:

He had joined a sextet as a pianist, his bandmates being Bubber Miley, Joe Nanton, Cootie Williams, Rex Stewart, and Johnny Hodges. All of them being, to some level, eccentric and slightly odd. He is famous for his works of "It Don't Mean a Thing if It Ain't Got That Swing," "Sophisticated Lady," "Prelude to a Kiss," "Solitude," and "Satin Doll."
