Ellington was based in New York City from the mid-1920s onward and gained a national profile through his orchestra's appearances at the Cotton Club in Harlem. Some of the musicians who were members of Ellington's orchestra, such as saxophonist Johnny Hodges, are considered to be among the best players in jazz, and Ellington melded them into the best-known orchestral unit in the history of jazz. Due to his inventive use of the orchestra, or big band, and thanks to his eloquence and charisma, Ellington elevated jazz to an art form. His reputation continued to rise after he died in 1974 at the age of 75, and he was awarded a posthumous Pulitzer Prize for music in 1999 AND Louis Armstrong (also known as Satchmo or Pops) was a legendary jazz trumpeter, singer and actor from the 1910s to the 1970s. Some of his songs include: Mack the Knife, Hello Dolly, and St. Louis Blues. He passed away in 1971 at the age of 69. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
