Edward Kennedy Ellington, better known as “Duke,” born April 29, 1899, in Washington, D.C., and died May 24, 1974, in New York City, is recognized as one of the greatest jazz composers of the twentieth century. He wrote thousands of compositions, which included such jazz standards as “Sophisticated Lady,” “In a Sentimental Mood,” “Prelude to a Kiss,”‘Satin Doll,” “C Jam Blues,” and countless others. For more than a decade, the Duke Ellington Orchestra was the resident ensemble at the Cotton Club in New York City. A staple in every jaz player's repertoire, *C Jam Blues” is easy to memorize and can be used as a quote in other solos. Spend time working on the dominant 7th chords found in all blues progressions.
