They keep asking me what jazz is like I didn’t spend my whole life building a kingdom to be interviewed by amateurs. by Duke Ellington

Louis, that horn has been saving your personality for decades.

Kingdom? Duke, you got a nice hat and a strong opinion, relax.

Charlie, Louis, I asked for a rhythm section, not a group chat.
