You should add Danny Elfman to your Duke Ellington and Don Ellis.

A couple of father-son composer things:

JW -- John Williams and Joseph Williams
JG -- Jerry Goldsmith and Joel Goldsmith

I'm sure there are tons to choose from. I can even think of one with THREE shared initials:

R.R.B. - Robert Russell Bennett and Richard Rodney Bennett

A couple more, off the top of my head:

E.G. -- Elliot Goldenthal and Ernest Gold
M.M. -- Mark McKenzie and Mark Mothersbaugh

There was also Jonathan Goldsmith, who was Canadian but wasn't related to either Jerry and Joel.
