What is the last song that they play? I've heard it before but I can't remember.

I really beg to differ. Duke DID swing. Did you ever hear Kinda Dukish? It swings outrageously.

Duke never did swing. He just had a swing beat. What he did was what I call "pure" jazz. This is what I consider a real jazz band. And as far as I'm concerned, jazz was called blues originally.

That's what happened. I didn't say there weren't talented artists today. But the reason they're so hard to find is because of the merchants who are in charge of America's musical art. It's disgusting.

Mmm... love those groovy tunes. They are really good background for writing stories... Cheers :)

slavery = no jazz, and how do you know that, it could have happened both ways , loser, they could have picked up instruments both ways,

Merchants in the record-industry for one thing. It's cheaper and easier to promote a single "star" and make money off that. Then electric instruments and the smaller groups like the Beatles, were much easier to market and promote to kids. What really killed good-great music though was the conversion to the electric instruments in the 1970s. People stopped playing instruments, so they stopped learning to read and write music. 25 years later, all we have is Pop and Rap, with a few good rockers.
