2 Trumpets, French Horn, Trombone and Tuba (2 Trumpets, French Horn, Trombone and Tuba) - Grade 3
Composed by Ellington Mills. Arranged by Jarvis. Brass Quintet. Jazz. Score and set of parts. Kendor Music Inc #18853. Published by Kendor Music Inc (KN.18853).

Item Number: KN.18853

In this imaginative setting of the Duke Ellington hit from the early 1930's, tuba and trumpet are each given a solo chorus (as written or ad lib) before the strong ensemble finish. The moderately bright tempo (half note = 92) will have everyone's toes tapping! Duration 2:00.

  • October 24, 2016 The best arrangement of this famous jazz standard

    I think it's the best arrangement of It Don’t Mean a Thing for brass quintet. I liked everything: the introduction, the complex and full harmonies, the syncopations, the general groove, the solos... I am a student trombonist who has a brass quintet of friends and students too, and...

    this piece has adequate difficulty to be a challenge for us, but totally affordable and very rewarding when a good result is achieved. I like the swing and jazz music in general, and this arrangement is one of the best swing pieces we have in the quintet’s repertoire. P.S.: We only modified slightly the ending, finishing all of us with a strong note, as we like :D
