Duke Ellington was a legendary composer who contributed more standards to the jazz repertoire than any other musician before or since. He is also singularly responsible for bridging the divide between jazz as popular dance music and jazz as art, giving the genre the respectability it still holds as "America's classical music". I briefly discuss the style, elegance and leadership skills that make Duke Ellington the Greatest American composer.
