Edition: Jazz Big Band Arrangement

Description: Bright Swing

Publisher: Sierra Music

Of all the arrangements done of this iconic Strayhorn/Ellington standard, Don Sebesky’s chart, written for the Maynard Ferguson Orchestra (and recorded numerous times) ranks as one of the best, most creative and challenging versions. Bob Curnow has complemented the chart by scoring it for standard big band instrumentation (5 saxophones, 4 trumpets, 4 trombones, piano, bass, and drums.) This one really moves, and it will move your band and audiences. 5-4-4-3
