For years, Jazz At The Philharmonic albums were the only ones of their kind.

Ellington is a writer and arranger, as well as a musician and leader. He does movie sound tracks.

The public, hearing pop music, is, without knowing it, also soaking up jazz.

I'm Bam Margera. And I feel like kicking my dad's butt all day today.

Shaft was a pop culture figure along t he lines of, I guess, Dirty Harry - except that he wasn't as much of a racist. So yeah, I was always a fan.

I think I was supposed to play jazz.
