Cotton tail / All too soon / In a mellow tone / Take the "A" train / Just a-sittin' and a-rockin' / Perdido / C jam blues / What am I here for? / Main stem / Caravan / Mood indigo / It don't mean a thing / Sophisticated lady / Things ain't what they used to be / Just squeeze me / Creole love call / Snibor / On the sunny side of the street / Love you madly / Satin doll

Das eigentliche "Instrument" des Pianisten Duke Ellington war sein Orchester. Eine Band mit wundervollen, kreativen Solisten und mit Billy Strayhorn ein großer Arrangeur prägen die 20 "unsterblichen" Titel. Der Einfluss von "Duke Ellington and his Orchestra" auf den Jazz ist bis heute spürbar.
