Some of her movies include: Ride 'Em Cowboy, St. Louis Blues, and All My Life. She passed away in 1996 at the age of 79 AND Edward Kennedy "Duke" Ellington was an American composer, pianist, and bandleader of a jazz orchestra, which he led from 1923 until his death in a career spanning over fifty years. 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 Benny Goodman (known as The King of Swing) was a legendary Big Band leader, who appeared in several movies (usually as himself) including: A Song is Born, The Big Broadcast of 1937, The Gang's All Here, and Make Mine Music. He passed away in 1986 at the age of 77. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: good.
