The Duke’s music, fractured and only partially put back together.
Let’s face it, Ellington’s music is timeless. Not in a put-it-in-a-museum-and-protect-it kind of way, but in a let-it-loose, let-it-live kind of way. We reckon the Duke’s tunes are strong enough to withstand being busted down and reassembled, and that’s just what we like to do. If you wanna hear Ellington a la the Cotton Club in the 30’s, buy a reckerd or a time machine. If you wanna hear what a diverse bunch of Melbourne’s finest players make of his music today, come hear Neon Lit Kludge.
