Few individuals have had a greater influence on the twentieth century popular culture than Duke Ellington. His remarkable musical legacy combined with an unfailing sense of style have accorded him iconic status. And although such evergreen hits as "Take the A Train," "It Don't Mean A Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing)," and "Satin Doll" resonate from coast to coast, that he was our nation's Jazz Ambassador endeared the Duke to a global audience.
