I love both Duke and Count. But Basie always wins in the end. Ellington has a fine style, cerebral and smooth. Basie, though, makes his music jump. Not to say Basie lacks sophistication. He blends the two very well.

I am listening to The Ventures at the moment. An LP called The Very Best Of The Ventures. These guys are great. If you have it, you should put it on your blog. Your fans will love it.
