Sep 7, 2008 - Well,after doing some investigation, the band is really Duke's orchestra, but the conductor is JIMMY JONES. "James Henry "Jimmy" Jones (December 30, 1918, Memphis, Tennessee - April 29, 1982, Burbank, Los Angeles)(...)he worked in the 1960s with Harry Belafonte, Johnny Hodges, Budd Johnson, Nat Gonella, and Clark Terry. He(...)led the Duke Ellington Orchestra and acted as a substitute pianist for Duke Ellington in the ensemble when they accompanied Ella Fitzgerald." from WIKIPEDIA, God bless it
