Edition: Jazz Big Band Arrangement

Description: Afro Groove - Medium

Publisher: Jazz at Lincoln Center

This amazing composition is a grooving, undeniably funky prayer of thanks for the city of New Orleans and all it had meant to Ellington, to jazz, to America, and to the world. It effectively displays a musical portrait of much of what New Orleans still is today, a fantastic mix of the sacred, the fun, and the unholy all existing in real time. It has to be played with some attempt at expressing all of these elements, otherwise, the point of it will be missed. Part of the 2024-25 Essentially Ellington High School Jazz Band Program.
