Duke Ellington is one of the great figures in music history who catapulted our music into a new dimension.
And he articulated a simple truth: If it doesn’t have swing, it means nothing. If it doesn’t touch the soul, it might be nice entertainment—which is important, of course—but music, as humanity’s highest form of expression, is so much more. So get that swing, motherfuckers! #music #jazz
