Ellington: "Chicago, you are the new standard bearers ... [under his breath] of bulllllllshit."

Found the quote. It's far worse than I remembered:
Back in the early '70's, Ellington had asked to have Chicago appear on his TV special, Duke Ellington: We Love You Madly, along with such august company as Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, Ray Charles, Peggy Lee, and Count Basie. After the show, Parazaider and Pankow went to meet Ellington, who was near the end of his illustrious career. "I said, "Mr. Ellington, it really was an honour to be asked to be on your show," Parazaider recalls, "and he looked at Jimmy and me, and he said , 'On the contrary young men, the honour is all mine because you're the next Duke Ellington's.'

Isn't there another Chicago quote from Hendrix supposedly? "I can play a little guitar but this guy blows me away"

As for Kenny G, he could read a newspaper and sound good! I’ll give that one five stars.
