It Don't Mean A Thing

This fresh setting of Ellington's immortal standard gives it a unique salsa twist! Though the vocalist (or tenor sax) is the primary feature, this chart showcases the whole band's ability to establish a convincing Latin groove. A soli featuring the vocalist, alto sax, trumpet and guitar is another highlight, along with additional solos for tenor and trumpet. Rhythm section parts are partially notated with chords cued.
