    'It Don't Mean a Thing If It Ain't Got That Swing' is still the motto of this unforgettable big band, now under the direction of the Duke's grandson Paul Mercer Ellington. Duke Ellington is arguably one of American's most prolific and respected songwriters and musicians. Throughout his extensive career, his band led the forefront of the popular groups; greats such as Billy Strayhorn, Miles Davis, Tony Bennet, Ella Fitzgerald and more held it as a privilege to perform with or in his orchestra. Jazz standards he wrote include 'Satin Doll,' 'It Don't Mean a Thing,' 'In a Sentimental Mood, ' 'C-Jam Blues' and 'Take the 'A' Train' stemmed from Duke's endless imagination. With soaring reeds and Duke's signature jungle-growl brass, this band really knows how to swing!
