Question

Among the following, who enjoyed a five-year engagement at harlem's cotton club and performed it don't mean a thing (if it ain't got that swing), introducing the term "swing" to jazz culture?

Answer 1

The answer to the question above is DUKE ELLINGTON. Edward Kennedy Ellington, or known as Duke Ellington is a famous American composer and the originator of big-band jazz. This jazz orchestra he had was on 1923 until his death. He was the Jazz musician who was famous for performing "It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing)" in which "swing" was incorporated. When we say swing, this is a sub-genre wherein it involves that "groove" feeling and responses such as feet-tapping and nodding.
