New Wave piano guy Joe Jackson returns this week with a tribute to legendary jazzman Duke Ellington, an album called The Duke that features guest turns by the likes of Iggy Pop, The Roots’ ?uestlove, Steve Vai and Sharon Jones, among others. Last month, we previewed the first track off the set, “I’m Beginning to See the Light,” and now comes, via Rolling Stone, a free download of what’s arguably the most-anticipated cut: Jackson’s duet with Pop on “It Don’t Mean a Thing (If It Ain’t Got That Swing).”
