Product description
What better way to introduce the music of Duke Ellington to your young jazzers than with this wonderfully scored arrangement by Michael Sweeney? Even at this easy level, this chart really swings and will sound great with limited rehearsal time. Your pianist gets a rare chance to shine as he or she is featured on the melody while the ensemble answers. Later, every section gets to play the melody and there is a solo section for any sax. The final section starts softly with saxes alone, then builds as various layers are added. A great-sounding chart for beginning bands. Enjoy great flexibility with the Discovery Jazz series!
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.
Michael Sweeney (* 1952) is an American composer, arranger and conductor.
