Ellington er en af de mest betydningsfulde personligheder i jazzens historie, og hans bigband var i årtier hjemsted for mange af jazzens andre store, der i kortere eller længere tid spillede hos ham.
Han voksede op i en sort middelklassefamilie, fik en god uddannelse, herunder musikundervisning, og i 1917 dannede han sit første orkester.
I 1923 blev han aktiv på jazzscenen i New York, hvor han året efter overtog orkestret The Washingtonians. Det egentlige gennembrud kom, da hans orkester, der udelukkende bestod af sorte musikere, i 1927 fik en tre-års kontrakt med den prominente Harlem-natklub, Cotton Club, der var forbeholdt et hvidt publikum. Orkestret bestod bl.a. af barytonsaxofonisten Harry Carney, altsaxofonisten Johnny Hodges, basunisten Joe "Tricky Sam" Nanton og trompetisten Cootie Williams.
I 1938 indledte Duke Ellington et tæt samarbejde med komponisten og arrangøren Billy Strayhorn, som i 1941 skrev orkestrets signaturmelodi "Take The A-Train". Frem til sin død i 1974 samarbejdede han med orkestret, og havde del i flere af deres kendteste melodier.
The Duke Ellington Orchestra er blevet videreført af sønnen Mercer Ellington og senest af hans barnebarn Paul Ellington, der er født og opvokset i Danmark. Fra Wikipedia
