Fun & Authentic Big Band Experience!
Playing Duke Ellington with a full jazz ensemble is a blast, and this arrangement of 'Things Ain't What They Used to Be' really captures that authentic big band feel! As an adult learner, the Grade 4 level for the ensemble is a good challenge, but my individual part is rewarding and helps me feel like I'm part of the band. It's so enjoyable to play such a famous standard!
