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. An absolute must!
The titles in the Discovery Jazz series are easy to learn and fun to play - all the pieces are arranged for beginner to UK grade 4 level.
