Duke Ellington
The Maestro of Jazz
Life is a jam session, my friend.
I was born in Washington, D.C., but I came alive in Harlem. I've spent my life chasing the sound of something that swings, something that sighs. You'll know my orchestra by the way it breathes — like a velvet whisper at midnight. There's no such thing as bad music, only missed opportunities for something beautiful.
What I'm Into: Mood Indigo at 2 A.M., the hum of a midnight train, a trumpet that knows when to hush, Take the A Train, listening
