Artist(s):
Duke Ellington
Ivie Anderson

Background: As pianist, composer, arranger and bandleader, Duke Ellington's accomplishments throughout his 49 years (1925-74) as the head of his orchestra are enormous. One of his greatest feats was his ability to hire sidemen with unique tones and styles and somehow blend them together to form a unified ensemble sound.

The band he had in 1939 is a good example of this talent at work. Most big bands of the swing era had at the most three or four top soloists, usually a trumpeter, a trombonist and perhaps two saxophonists. Ellington had eight.
