About this arrangement

Solo Guitar - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1328873 By 40s Instrumental Music. By Duke Ellington, Eddie De Lange, and Irving Mills. Arranged by Christopher J. Malin. 20th Century,Jazz,Standards. Individual part. 1 pages. Christopher J. Malin #916882. Published by Christopher J. Malin (A0.1328873). Solo jazz guitar chord/melody arrangement with tablature. Seldom heard standard in this style. Beautiful, instantly recognizable melody. One of Duke Ellington finer pieces. This piece makes you stand out as a solo jazz guitarist of all idioms. Some chords are played as triads or dyads or eliminated, and single notes are used. I draw a line over the note if it's the high note of a chord or I use a dot if it's played as a single note, the chord is then in parentheses. I tend to use a minimalist style that keeps the important parts of the music. Sounds great on acoustic and electric guitars.I tend to play the "A" section in "free" time, adding improvisation. Then almost like a modern "Power Ballad" I play the "B' section in a strong swing time. I repeat measures 11 to 14 three times! Then, I pull in the reins and slow her down towards the end and improvise freely at the bitter end. I love this tune! Hope you will too.
