Composer of the Week

Duke Ellington (1899-1974)

Part Two

By the beginning of the 1930s, Duke Ellington and his Orchestra was one of the most popular jazz bands in the US. But as Swing arrived on the scene, spearheaded by Benny Goodman, a new generation of bands emerged which soon overtook Ellington in the popularity stakes. Donald Macleod looks at Ellington's reaction to this new phenomenon and introduces some of his lesser-known small ensemble numbers, as well as a selection of his best-loved melodies.

Featured tracks include In a Sentimental Mood; Reminiscing in Tempo; Clarinet Lament; Echoes of Harlem; Pyramid; The Jeep is Jumpin'; Jeep's Blues; Prelude to a Kiss; I let a Song Go Out of My Heart; Caravan; Diminuendo and Crescendo in Blue.
