About this arrangement

Score and Parts Concert Band (Score & Parts) - Grade 4 SKU: HL.4007584 Concert Band Score and Parts. By Duke Ellington. By Duke Ellington. Arranged by Toshio Mashima. De Haske Concert Band. Jazz, Swing. Softcover. Duration 260 seconds. De Haske Publications #DHP1125268010. Published by De Haske Publications (HL.4007584). ISBN 9781705164846. UPC: 196288068488.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.
