"If it is accepted as an art, then it is the same as any other art. The popularity of it doesn't matter, doesn't mean anything, because when you get into popularity you're getting into money, not music."
Interesting thought…According to www.ellingtonweb.ca/Hostedpages/TDWAW/nextTDWAW.html#Yr1973, Duke's travels around the US and the globe did not take him to Finland, but he did several concerts in Sweden and Denmark in October. Sadly his longtime friend and personal physician Dr. Arthur C. Logan, was found dead under mysterious circumstances less than a month after the Scandinavian tour.
Eloquent and articulate. Gracious, yet willful. The definition of cool.....I truly adore the Duke.
That is best definition I ever heard about the Duke- I always say that he is overly suave!!
mr. Duke Ellington my all time favorite.
Truly a brilliant man. I can't stop watching.
a man ahead of his time
"There's only two types of music...good music and bad music."
Duke Ellington.
Thanks, Russell
Brilliant composer, arranger and musician; brilliant man.
Thank you for posting!
I like when he says "Jazz is freedom of expression"
12 years ago!
Amazing, he still has that swing era accent. Listen to how he says the words. They sound slangish.

Thank you for your nice remarks.

Duke was so slick...
IndependentGeorge76 Both in personality and in hair
awesome how he says that popular music is about money and not the music
I’m in 2024 - the music business now is worse yet. It’s almost like the upper music industry people don’t really like music.
