Put on WKCR, they're playing The Cosmic Scene by Duke Ellington's Spacemen from 1958. One of my favorites and one of the few LP I've physically broken by accident so it's just on my wall.
I hope the crazy version of Body and Soul gets played. It is epic.

Happy birthday to the Duke!!!! Today should be a national holiday and it’s one of my favorite days of the year. There’s a reason I gave my younger son Jude the middle name Ellington.
Duke is a national treasure and needs to be recognized as such. Rename Dulles Airport after him!!!!

Let’s show them where the real power is.
Not sure if this has been mentioned but we should all be logging out and not use all Meta platforms tomorrow as well. (If you still have a Twitter account, why???)

This whole record is very brilliant. In every way. The density of samples and references and mashup of styles is overwhelming. Hats off the the Beasties and the Dust Brothers. #hiphopsky
