This adaptation of the immortal Duke Ellington classic features interesting jazz rhythms, melodic material for all sections, and the optional rhythm section and solo parts mentioned above. Since this song uses very few chord changes, it's a good choice for first-time improvisers. Overall, the chart consists of a swingin' first chorus, an optional solo section on the second chorus, a third shout chorus, a return to the bridge of the first chorus, and a coda. A terrific tune for young players!
