The Ellington band was famous for laying down a swinging groove and this new chart based on "In a Mellow Tone" is a great way to introduce this feel to younger ensembles. Featuring clever interplay between the sections and a terrific Sax soli this solid arrangement is both a good teaching piece and a wonderful concert choice.
