Duke Ellington was born April 29, 1899, in Washington, D.C. A major figure in the history of jazz music, his career spanned more than half a century, during which time he composed thousands of songs for the stage, screen and contemporary songbook. He created one of the most distinctive ensemble sounds in Western music and continued to play what he called "American Music" until shortly before his death in 1974. #Biography

@Jenaya Jackson Don't worry, I'm in my second year of college watching this. You're doing great watching now. Many will never care enough to learn about this for their entire lives. Missing out..

What did he study the arts of?

Painting, drawing, like literal physical art. It says he studied piano at age 6, but he didnt find it appealing and so he never pursued it until he was roughly out of high school. This video is very misleading with a lot of its facts
