Great Americans - Duke Ellington

Arguably the greatest American composer, undeniably the most prolific (he wrote nearly two thousand compositions), enough has been said about this man, it could fill the internet. So I'll just add that he's been enough of an influence on my life that I named my son after him. Here's Duke Ellington & His Orchestra - Happy Independence Day!

You should speak to my friend Marc! (The attorney! I gave you his #) His kid's name is "Miles Duke". You can set up a play-date!
