Blues & Swing easy
H Don't Get Around Much AnymoreDuke
Ellington/arr. Michael Sweeney. 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's a written
or ad lib solo for any saxophone. The final section
starts softly with saxes alone, then builds as various
layers are added. This bluesy, swinging chart is
playable with as few as 3 saxes, 2 trumpets, 1
trombone, piano and drums, and all solos have
written parts provided. This belongs in every young
jazz curriculum! Highly recommended!
