Duke Ellington and George Gershwin with Gustavo Dudamel

Duke Ellington and George Gershwin each defied genre and categorization with their music, blending ideas from jazz night clubs and orchestral concert halls into something distinctly American. Gustavo Dudamel leads the Los Angeles Philharmonic in this celebration of symphonic jazz, and Tony- and Grammy Award-winning singer Patina Miller lends her voice to songs by Ellington, Gershwin, and others from the Great American Songbook.
