Duke Ellington was characterized as "the supreme jazz talent of the past fifty years" by critics.  An abundant composer, Ellington created "Take the A-Train" and "It Don’t Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing)," and was responsible for many innovations in the jazz field, such as the "jungle-style" use of the growl and plunger, and the manipulation of the human voice as an instrument, singing notes without words.
