Duke Ellington

"What is music to you ? What would you be without music ? Music is everything. Nature is music...The sea is music, the wind is music. The rain drumming on the roof and the storm raging in the sky are music. Music is the oldest entity. The scope of music is immense and infinite. It is the ‘esperanto’ of the world."
