Jeep's Blues is one of many blues lines written by Ellington's star alto saxophonist Johnny Hodges. This one was for an Ellington small group recording under Hodges' name in the late 1930's. It's basically just the first 4 bars of the blues and then Hodges improvises the rest of the 12-bar form. Ellington's later big band arrangement is a very simple enlargement of that original 4-horn chart. There are 2 ensemble choruses, 2 solo choruses, 2 sax section choruses ending with a stride piano cadence. The opening is a loud and glorious ensemble; the closing is a soft and introspective sax section.

Lush Life was composed  sometime between 1933 and 1936. It was first performed by Duke Ellington in 1943. The ultimate sad and sullen broken-hearted jazz ballad. Let the male vocalist in your band and his name to the great singer who have performed this song including Johnny Hartman, Chet Baker, Billy Eckstine and many others.

This will be performed by the SC Masterworks Orchestra on April 15, 2023. Youtube links will be posted afterwards.
