It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing)
Duke Ellington/arr. Ralph Ford - Alfred Publishing Belwin Division
It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing)
You may think this very clever chart is all swing, but it begins as Latin then alternates with a swing feel. The tempo is bright at around 190-200 bpm with suggested solos for trumpet and tenor sax, a few piano montunos, and a big shout chorus leading to a huge ending closing this fine chart appropriately. Additional wind parts and a vibes part are included for optional expanded instrumentations. Highly recommended!
