DUKE ELLINGTON

SKIN DEEP

Description:
The most consistently great composer in jazz history, Ellington also held together a big band for nearly 50 years and became probably the key figure in the development of the music. This Proper Introduction concentrates on the work of the Ellington band in the '40s and '50s, a time when other big bands were suffering from the postwar slump in gigs but when Ellington's ideas, and the sound of the band, were becoming more and more powerful & innovative.
