Duke Ellingtons band played more complicated music than The Counts band. I see The Duke as the natural successor to Jelly Roll Morton a New Orleans Pianist/Composer who based his music more on The European Classics rather than the Blues. Count Basies band was very much a blues based band with a natural swing.
