Duke Ellington created a revolutionary sound that fused jazz, blues and swing. He is a jazz icon and is considered one of its most dazzling personalities. With Jason Moran, the next generation bows to the "Duke" and congratulates him on his 125th birthday. With the Frankfurt Radio Big Band, he brings the original arrangements of Ellington's orchestra back to life.
