Oh, there's a lull in my life
It's just a void and empty space
When you are not in my embrace
Oh, there's a lull In my life
The moment that you go away
There is no night, there is no day
The clock stops ticking
The world stops turning
Everything stops but the flame in my heart
That keeps burning, burning
Oh, oh, oh
There's a lull In my life
No matter how I may pretend
I know that you alone can end
Edward Kennedy Ellington, noto come Duke Ellington, è stato un leggendario direttore d'orchestra, compositore e pianista jazz statunitense. Nato a Washington D.C. nel 1899, Ellington ha trascorso la sua vita a plasmare il panorama musicale americano. Iniziò suonando al piano in locali di Washington prima di trasferirsi a New York nel 1923, dove formò la sua band, inizialmente chiamata "The Duke's Orchestra". L'orchestra di Ellington divenne rapidamente una delle più famose del mondo, grazie alla sua musica innovativa e alle performance energiche. Ellington era un maestro nell'arte della composizione jazz, creando brani iconici come "It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing)", "Take the 'A' Train" e "Mood Indigo". Il suo stile musicale si caratterizzava per l'uso di melodie memorabili, arrangiamenti complessi e un ritmo contagioso. Ellington ha collaborato con alcuni dei più grandi musicisti jazz del XX secolo, tra cui Louis Armstrong, Billie Holiday e Johnny Hodges. La sua influenza sul jazz è stata immensa, ispirando generazioni di musicisti e contribuendo a definire l'identità musicale americana. Ellington è morto nel 1974, lasciando un patrimonio musicale straordinario che continua ad essere apprezzato in tutto il mondo.
