If jazz is America's classical music, I became America's greatest classical composer, publishing over nine hundred compositions ranging from popular songs to symphonic and religious pieces. I won nationwide attention in the 1920s through my radio broadcasts from a club in Harlem, with songs such as "Sophisticated Lady" and "It Don't Mean a Thing if it Ain't Got That Swing." Who am I, and what is the name of the famous Harlem club where I played?

Little confused because both Irving Mills and Duke Ellington wrote those songs together, but if you mean for their individual contribution I would say you were talking about Mills. And the bar in Harlem was called the Cotton Club.
