During this period, Duke continued to innovate, albeit within the swing idiom, writing new material and rearranging old material to keep it fresh. He incorporated "world music" influences on albums like ''The Far East Suite'' and ''The Afro-Eurasian Eclipse'', and incorporated church music into his Sacred Concert series. At the encouragement of producer Bob Thiele and various labels, Duke teamed up with other big names in jazz--Music/LouisArmstrong, Music/JohnColtrane, Count Basie, Coleman Hawkins, Music/CharlesMingus, and Max Roach--to record albums.

* DreamTeam: The Blanton-Webster lineup of 1940-41 is generally regarded as this, with not only Ellington's regular stars such as Johnny Hodges, Harry Carney, Barney Bigard, Sonny Greer etc. but also bass virtuoso Jimmy Blanton and tenor sax giant Ben Webster. This lineup was captured live on ''Duke Ellington at Fargo, 1940'', a high-quality amateur recording that wasn't commercially released until 1978.

* AbsenceMakesTheHeartGoYonder: "Do Nothing Till You Hear From Me" is about this, in that the singer is telling his lover not to pay any attention to the rumours that he's been cheating on her, but to do nothing till she hears from him--with the stinger coming in the final line of the verse, "and you never will."
