Yes!
Sometimes I ask myself which of the songs we hear today will be acceptable in the year 3000 (80+some years from now) ...
 

Might want to check the maths on that. Anyhow, a ripping tune!

Lol, not sure we'll even have music in the year 3000! But in 80 years or so, in the year 2100, Duke should still be legit!

The year 3000 is a little more than 80+ years from now. Try 980+ ;)

The lack of taste is not to my taste. 

Swing it, Sir Duke. 

May I suggest ?: Diminuendo and Crescendo in Blue, from the Newport Jazz Festival, 1954.

Well, first, my opinion is that this is a fair bit better than "acceptable".

Also, the year 3000 is over 980 years away. Perhaps this is more a bit of a math fail and you were thinking of 2100?

Whatever, we all hope there's a "Bill in a Bottle" still slinging out the tunes from Paradise then and there's a "Me in a Bottle" around to listen!

From back when swing was something you only did on a playground or a dance floor, cool only applied to temperature, but THIS was always HOT!!!

Reminds me of my late father listening to this kind of stuff loud in the bathroom on a Sunday night in the 70's.

I never thought I would highly rate a big band, but this scores.
