Supper Club host and organiser Chris Coull gets to showcase his own writing and arranging talents with his tribute to one of the most celebrated jazz artists of all time.
Duke Ellington was instrumental in defining the golden era of jazz; his band played at the notorious 'Cotton Club' in 1920's Harlem before going on to ever bigger and greater things in a career that spanned 6 decades.
