Armstrong and Ellington refer to two iconic figures in jazz music: Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington. Armstrong was a pioneering trumpeter and vocalist known for his innovative improvisation and charismatic stage presence, helping to popularize jazz as a soloist's art form. In contrast, Duke Ellington was a celebrated composer, bandleader, and pianist, renowned for his sophisticated arrangements and orchestral compositions that transformed jazz into a more structured and complex genre. While Armstrong is often associated with the New Orleans jazz style, Ellington's work spans big band and swing music, highlighting their distinct contributions to the evolution of jazz.
