Duke Ellington - Satin Doll

There are many jazz songs with lyrics. You just need to search under jazz singers like Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Nat King Cole (yes, he was a jazz musician before he started doing popular music, in fact he is one of the top jazz pianists of all time). Check them out.

Duke Ellington has 18 Charisma.

It's a good thing he has power armor to go with it.

not really x

i dunno, it doesnt look like ellington's usual bassist wellman braud

classic! It doesn't get any better than this!

I won't bother to scroll down and find out who, but good lord, some drummer is actually complaining about the feel here? The whole key to the Ellington sound is the lope -- the drag -- the SLINKY feel. If you play metronomic time to this, you ruin it. Grow some ears and understand you have to sit back behind the horn section!

damn hahah

The older a wooden instrument is, the richer it's sound.

True also of violins, guitars; true even of drums. Well said! Seasoned wood serves a musician well.
