This may be just what the world needs now: A composition by Duke Ellington for orchestra and his swing band -- played together here by the Duke Ellington Orchestra and the Hamburg Symphony.
"A little thing," Duke described it -- a "particular type of tonal hybrid" on which he continually experimented, giving inspiration for the chosen title: "Non-Violent Integration."
As a pop composer later titled his own piece, "Wouldn't It Be Nice."
