1899, Duke Ellington, American jazz composer, orchestrator, bandleader, and pianist, considered the greatest composer in the history of jazz music and one of the greatest musicians of the 20th century. Unlike other great bandleaders, Ellington personally created most of the music played by his orchestra. With musical insight and sensitivity, he wrote pieces designed for specific players in his band. By writing highly personal harmonies, by concerning himself with new musical forms (ways of ordering and presenting musical ideas), and by creatively using tone color (quality of sounds), he created a body of innovative and original music.

Peer Counselor Training Workshops for
Young People on Enlistment Issues
Every year, thousands of young people are faced with the difficult challenge of figuring out what to do with their lives. For various reasons, some of them end up considering joining the armed forces. Many of those who sign up begin questioning this decision because of their experiences with the military (including recruiters) or other developments in their lives. Few resources are available to assist young people at the pre-enlistment or early post-sign up stages. Little outreach is done to these young people.
