Duke Ellington - Black And Tan Fantasy

Edward Kennedy "Duke" Ellington (April 29, 1899 -- May 24, 1974) was a USA composer, pianist and bandleader of jazz orchestras. His career spanned over 50 years, leading his orchestra from 1923 until death.
Though widely considered to have been a pivotal figure in the history of jazz, Ellington himself embraced the phrase "beyond category" as a "liberating principle," and referred his music to the more general category of "American Music," rather than to a musical genre such as "jazz." Born in Washington, D.C., he was based in New York City from the mid-1920s onwards and gained a national profile through his orchestra's appearances at the Cotton Club. In the 1930s they toured in Europe.
