BTW,
There are two quotes in the liner sleeve of the 'Gershwin's World' CD. One by Gershwin, and one by Ellington.
The Gershwin quote is dead on!! Could not agree more. He nailed it. It might also explain the state of Jazz today. The nation's store of engery is winding down.
I had to cringe at the Ellington quote. Can a mere mortal disagree with The Duke?? Some people might take his statement too literal.
Cheers
