Take the word “sublime.” Webster says: “to cause to pass directly from solid to the vapor state and condense back to solid form; to elevate or exalt esp. in dignity or honor; to render finer (as purity or excellence); to convert (something inferior) into something of higher worth.” Ellington’s PRELUDE TO A KISS is sublime multiplied by seven. Thank you Duke Ellington. Thank you, Kalamu, for bringing this to us.
