Discovery Jazz Ensemble - Grade 1.5
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!

*puts it in Bb*

makes no sense

[@d4rk1ze95]

It would be funny if Duke Ellington did that as a practical joke to piss off people

[@homemadefilms5718]

@@bluejedi723 most easy jazz pieces are in Bb, so these composers just transpose everything

[@SamuelAguirreSoto-or2gw]

@@mrjmrj7646 no it isn't, look at the concert pitch instruments, they all have Bb as the key signature

And I'm so glad they did
