Product description
Finally, this Ellington classic is available for even the most inexperienced bands. For starters, this version is in Bb rather than C. Rick features the saxes on the melody with inventive brass counterlines, and later a marvelous ensemble tutti section that starts soft then builds to the end.
Edward Kennedy "Duke" Ellington (1899-1974) was an American jazz composer, pianist, conductor and longtime leader of his own jazz orchestra. Duke Ellington is one of the most important figures in jazz music. He wrote more than 2,000 compositions, many of which are today very popular jazz standards and evergreens. However, rather than jazz, he himself spoke of his music simply as "American music" and often also emphasized the trans-genre nature of his music.
