Detailed explanation-1: -One of the originators of big-band jazz, he led his band for more than 50 years and composed thousands of scores. His gift of melody and mastery of sonic textures, rhythms, and compositional forms translated into a body of music unequaled in jazz history.
Detailed explanation-2: -Ellington’s career was also furthered by the technology of cinema and the innovation of added sound.
Detailed explanation-3: -With the variously named bands he led from 1919 until his death in 1974, Ellington was responsible for many innovations in the jazz field, such as “jungle-style” use of the growl and plunger, and the manipulation of the human voice as an instrument-singing notes without words.
Detailed explanation-4: -Ellington was among the very first to write music specifically for the players in his orchestra and in his own way. Rather than breaking the rules of conventional arranging, he simply ignored them and created the music that best fit his ideas and the sounds of his sidemen.
