JE: Mood Indigo Duke Ellington / Arr. Vince Gassi

FIRST YEAR CHARTS FOR JAZZ ENSEMBLE

This medium swing arrangement of the dreamy Ellington tune will cook at just about any tempo (though the recommend tempo is 108 BPM). The chart features a written tenor sax solo and a lot of interplay between the brass and saxes. It even has a 4-bar stop-time section for a rhythmic contrast.
