Edward Kennedy "Duke" Ellington

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.
