Solo Guitar - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1397472 Composed by Don George, Duke Ellington, Harry James, and Johnny Hodges. Arranged by Christopher J. Malin. 20th Century,Jazz,Standards. Individual part. 1 pages. Christopher J. Malin #980800. Published by Christopher J. Malin (A0.1397472). Solo jazz guitar chord/melody arrangement with tablature. Seldom heard standard in this style. Beautiful, instantly recognizable melody. I think of this one as Duke Ellington's signature piece. 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. If someone asks you to play a swing jazz tune this is a archetypical piece. This is a jazz classic! Every jazz guitarist should have this in their repitore. I love this tune! Hope you will too.
