Edward Kennedy ‘Duke’ Ellington’s influence on the swing era as musician, bandleader and composer is unparalleled. His arrangement of his own composition It Don’t Mean a Thing (If It Ain’t Got That Swing) is perhaps the first to carry the word ‘swing’ in the title, thereby coining a musical phrase. Toshio Mashima’s stylish arrangement of this jazz standard for concert band hits the perfect note. Als geen ander heeft Edward Kennedy ‘Duke’ Ellington als musicus, bandleider en componist grote invloed gehad op het tijdperk van de swing. De titel It Don’t Mean a Thing (If It Ain’t Got That Swing), die hij zowel componeerde als arrangeerde, is waarschijnlijk de eerste songtitel die het woord ‘swing’ bevat. Daarmee was er een nieuw muziekbegrip geboren! Toshio Mashima heeft met zijn arrangement de oorspronkelijke stijl van het origineel goed bewaard. It Don´t Mean a Thing: de jazzstandaard bij uitstek!Edward Kennedy Duke“ Ellington nahm wie kaum ein anderer als Musiker, Bandleader und Komponist Einfluss auf die Swing-Ära. Der von ihm komponierte und arrangierte Titel It Don’t Mean a Thing (If It Ain’t Got That Swing) ist vermutlich der erste Songtitel, der das Wort Swing“ in sich trägt und den Begriff damit in seiner musikalischen Bedeutung prägte. Toshio Mashima schrieb ein stilgerechtes Arrangement des Jazzstandards für Blasorchester. L’influence d’Edward Kennedy «Duke» Ellington sur l’ère du swing en tant que musicien, chef d’orchestre et compositeur est inégalée.

Toshio Mashima a produit un arrangement élégant de ce standard du jazz pour orchestre d’harmonie. Edward Kennedy “Duke” Ellington ha influenzato come nessun altro l’et della swing.
