It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

I believe Duke composed or co-authored well over 2,000 compositions. He was not only limited to the popular music of the time. He composed in various idioms modern, arcane, operas, symphonies, etc.
His bounds for composition were not as narrowly focused as Bach and Satie, but just as they produced works for their time so did Duke in his time. The music of the different eras were the "pops" of their time for these prolific composers.
