Solid, Reliable Ensemble Chart
A dependable Grade 2 ensemble chart for Duke Ellington's classic. It's straightforward and well-arranged by John Berry, perfect for events needing a quick-learn standard. The parts are clean, and while not explicitly detailed, chord symbols for the rhythm section are assumed for a Hal Leonard jazz chart. The 18 pages (score & parts) mean individual parts are concise, minimizing page turn issues on the bandstand.

Supportive Ensemble Accompaniment
While designed for full jazz ensemble, this Grade 2 arrangement of "In a Sentimental Mood" offers a well-balanced, supportive piano texture within the rhythm section. It's functional and clean, providing a solid harmonic and rhythmic foundation. A collaborative pianist could easily adapt from the score to support a vocalist or instrumentalist rehearsing their part, benefiting from the easy-to-follow ballad style.
