Duke Ellington uses the piano to set the mood or rhythm of some of his songs.
In "The Weary Blues," Langston Hughes employs words like "weary," "blues," and "sad" to create a tone of melancholy and introspection, reflecting the struggles of African American life. The tone is deeply emotional and reflective, showcasing a sense of sorrow intertwined with resilience. In contrast, Duke Ellington's "Mood Indigo" evokes a more sophisticated, yet similarly melancholic atmosphere, characterized by its smooth jazz harmonies and subtle beauty, which convey a sense of longing and nostalgia rather than overt despair. Both works capture complex emotions, but Hughes's tone is more raw and direct, while Ellington's is more refined and evocative.

Although Mike Pinder cites the jazz genre as a formative influence, there are no songs per se influenced specifically by a Duke Ellington song.However, Pinder was influenced by one of his songs when it came to naming the band. Originally calling themselves the R&B Preachers, they then tried to get sponsorship from a Birmingham brewery, Mitchell & Butler's, offering to call themselves the M&B 5. However, when the money was not forthcoming, they decided to keep the initials. It was Pinder who came up with Moody Blues: Blues based on the stle they were playing at the time and Moody after his favourite Ellington track, Mood Indigo.
