> [@ekedolphin](#): > > There’s Basey Miller, Satchmo, and the king of all, Sir Duke > And with a voice like Ella’s ringing out, there’s no way the band can lose Ahem … That line should read “There’s Basie, Miller, Satchmo, and the king of all, Sir Duke” ● ‘Basie’ refers to jazz pianist William James Basie, better known as “Count” Basie ● ‘Miller’ would almost certainly be band leader and trombonist Glenn Miller ● ‘Satchmo’ is the one and only Dixieland trumpeter Louis Armstrong ● and ‘Sir Duke’ is, of course, composer/bandleader/pianist Duke Ellington _ **IN PLAY:** _ On a tour of one-night stands My suitcase and guitar in hand And every stop is neatly planned For a poet and a one-man band Homeward Bound – _Simon and Garfunkel_ _ **-“BB”-** _ ---
