Icons Duke Ellington
Does anyone have any information on Duke Ellington?
My music teacher is making everyone do a report on an influential music icon from history. I drew from a hat and got Duke Ellington. I know he did jazz, but that's about it. Anything is good, especially fun facts.
Start with Wikipedia and follow the links from there. Or try your school library.
