Edition: Jazz Big Band Arrangement

Description: Swing Waltz - Difficult

Publisher: Jazz at Lincoln Center

This arrangement comes from Duke Ellington's New Orleans Suite (1970). The waltz feel and the airy, dignified melody evokes the age when Jean Lafitte lived outside of New Orleans, a pirate-turned-aristocrat. In contrast, the adventurous quality of the flugelhorn solo lets everyone know that Lafitte hadn’t strayed very far from his pirating ways. The rhythm section must stay light and bouncy throughout the entire piece. Part of the 2024-25 Essentially Ellington High School Jazz Band Program.
