Duke Ellington - Trombone

Michael Mossman uses a moderately fast Afro-Cuban style to craft this setting of Duke Ellingtons lesser-known work. This striking and fresh-sounding chart features tight harmonies and a driving rhythmic groove along with solospace for trombone trumpet and your choice of sax. The unexpected shift in feel for the shout chorus will knock your socks off!

Here is the classic Ellington swinger in a fabulous version for younger players. The drive and excitement of the original is still there as Mark starts out with a small combo of 2 tenors and 2 trombones then gets the full band involved. Includes solos for alto and/or trombone and also for trumpet and/or piano. This chart will sound great with any band!

LAméricain Duke Ellington (1889- 1974) a été pianiste chef dorchestre compositeur et arrangeur et a connu un grand succès. Son orchestre existe depuis des dizaines dannées et a pu survivre grâce aux énormes tubes que ses collaborateurs et lui-m?me ont écrits. Bon nombre de ces titres font aujourdhui partie du répertoire standard des jazzmen.Billy Strayhorn(1915- 1967) a rejoint lorchestre en 1939 en qualité darrangeur et de compositeur et a notamment écrit Take the A- train qui dès 1941 devient la chanson favorite de lorchestre. Il en existe dailleurs de nombreuses versions.Juan Tizol (1900- 1984 trombone à pistons) a joué aux côtés de Duke Ellington pendantpratiquement toute sa carrière et a composé des titres latin pour lorchestre. Il est le co-compositeur de Caravan et Perdido.Tout comme dans les concerts originaux de Duke Ellignton le medley commence par take the A- train suivi par toute une série de classiques extraits du répertoire du légendaire orchestre. Certains titres laissent entendre des solistes avec en point dorgue un solo de timbales sur C-Jam Blues. Ce solo peut éventuellement aussi ?tre improvisé.Quiconque travaille ce morceau se doit daccorder une grande attention aux basses et percussions qui forment la section de rythme et poussent lorchestre. Les autres sections doivent ?tre solides et créer un effet de swing cohérent. Le swing ne peut ?tre trop anguleux et peut varier dun titre à lautre. Dans In a sentimental mood par exemple la mélodie peut ?tre jouée de manière quasi rectiligne (classique) tandis que la section de rythme maintient le swing.
