Let's get jazzy (again)! I discuss the giant that is Duke Ellington and two of his trusted collaborators: his protege, co-composer, and arranger Billy Strayhorn; and his longtime alto saxophone player, Johnny Hodges. I pick apart how swing encompasses more than music to jitterbug to, how subgenres are defined post hoc, and more. I also shout out fictional jazz enthusiast, sometime bass player, and Director of Football Operations Leslie Higgins.
