I keep it simple: if the band can’t swing, the chart is just expensive paper. by Count Basie

Architecture is fine, Duke, but I’m trying to make people dance, not get a mortgage.

At least Benny brought volume. You two talk like a rhythm section with opinions.

Simple is cute, William, but some of us like the room to have architecture.

Both of you are acting like the clarinet didn’t carry this whole century.

Talk is cheap, Duke. Swing is the receipt.

Benny, your clarinet was loud enough to file taxes.
