| Description: This Medium Easy adaptation of the immortal Duke Ellington classic features interesting jazz rhythms, melodic material for all sections, and optional rhythm section and solo parts. Since this song uses very few chord changes, it's a good choice for first-time improvisers. Overall, the chart consists of a swingin' first chorus, an optional solo section on the second chorus, a third 'shout' chorus, a return to the bridge of the first chorus, and a coda. A terrific tune for young players! Jazz Classics for String Orchestra series. |
