The Duke Ellington Orchestra formed in the late 1920s. Ellington remained at the helm as bandleader from 1923 until his death – resulting in a career lasting over 50 years.

He composed over 3,000 songs during his lifetime, including mass favorites like “It Don’t Mean a Thing if It Ain’t Got That Swing” and “Sophisticated Lady”.

The Duke Ellington Orchestra continues to travel worldwide performing these and several others of Ellington’s celebrated classics.
