At least 95%
of mod
ern-da
y larg
e ensemb
le jazz p
laying
comes out
of three trad
itions: Count Ba
sie’s ba
nd, D
uke Ellington’s b
and
, and
the orchestra
tions of sma
ll groups. Those young
pla
yers interested in ja
zz w
ill be d
raw
n to sma
ll groups for the op
portunity to im
provise a
nd for
pra
ctical rea
sons (it is much ea
sier to orga
nize 4 or 5 peop
le than it is 15).
Schools have ta
ken over the task (form
erly perform
ed b
y da
nce ba
nds)
of training
musicia
ns to be ensem
ble p
layers. D
ue to the Basie Ba
nd’s
pop
ularity a
nd its sim
plicity of style a
nd em
pha
sis on blues a
nd sw
ing,
the better ed
ucators ha
ve alm
ost exclusively ad
opted
this trad
ition for tea
ching ja
zz ensemb
le pla
ying. A
s wond
erful as C
ount Basie’s style is,
it doesn’t a
dd
ress ma
ny of the imp
ortant styles d
eveloped
under the
grea
t musica
l umb
rella w
e call ja
zz. Duke Elling
ton’s comp
rehensive and
eclectic a
pp
roach to m
usic offers an a
lternative.
The stylistic richness of Ellington’s m
usic presents a
grea
t challeng
e to ed
ucators a
nd p
erformers a
like. In Basie’s m
usic, the conventions a
re very nearly consistent. In Elling
ton’s music there a
re ma
ny more
exceptions to the rules. This ca
lls for grea
ter knowled
ge of the la
ngua
ge
of jazz. C
lark Terry, w
ho left Count Ba
sie’s ba
nd to join D
uke Ellington,
said
, “Count Ba
sie wa
s college, b
ut Duke Elling
ton wa
s gra
dua
te school.” Know
ledg
e of Ellington’s m
usic prep
ares you to p
lay a
ny big
ba
nd m
usic.
The following
is a list of p
erforma
nce conventions for the grea
t ma
jority of Elling
ton’s music. A
ny devia
tions or ad
ditions w
ill be sp
elled out in the
individ
ual p
erforma
nce notes which follow
.
1. Listen ca
refully ma
ny times to the Elling
ton recording
of these p
ieces. There are m
any sub
tleties that w
ill elude even the m
ost sop
histicated
listener at first. A
lthough it w
as never Elling
ton’s w
ish to have his record
ings im
itated
, knowled
ge of these d
efinitive versions w
ill lead
musicia
ns to ma
ke more ed
ucated
choices when
creating
new p
erforma
nces. Ellington’s m
usic, though w
ritten for sp
ecific individ
uals, is d
esigned
to inspire a
ll musicia
ns to express
themselves. In a
dd
ition, you will hea
r slight note d
ifferences in the record
ing a
nd the tra
nscriptions. This is intentiona
l, as there a
re m
istakes a
nd a
lterations from
the origina
l intent of the music in the
recording
. You should ha
ve your pla
yers pla
y wha
t’s in the score.
2. Genera
l use of swing
phra
sing. The trip
let feel preva
ils except for
ba
llad
s or where nota
tions such as even eig
hths or Latin a
pp
ear.
In these cases, eig
hth notes are g
iven equa
l value.
3. There is a cha
in of comm
and
in ensemb
le pla
ying. The lea
d p
layers
in each section d
etermine the p
hrasing
and
volume for their ow
n section, a
nd their section-m
ates m
ust conform to the lea
d. W
hen the sa
xes and
/ or tromb
ones pla
y with the trum
pets, the lea
d
trump
et is the boss. The lea
d a
lto and
tromb
one must listen to the
first trump
et and
follow him
. In turn, the other saxes a
nd trom
bones
must follow
their lead
pla
yers. When the cla
rinet lead
s the bra
ss section, the b
rass should
not overblow
him. Tha
t mea
ns that the
first trump
et is actua
lly pla
ying “second
.” If this is done effectively,
there will b
e very little ba
lancing
work left for the cond
uctor.
4. In Ellington’s m
usic, each p
layer should
express the ind
ividua
lity of his ow
n line. He m
ust find a
musica
l ba
lance of sup
porting
and
follow
ing the section lea
der a
nd b
ringing
out the chara
cter of the und
erpa
rt. Each p
layer should
be encoura
ged
to express his or
her persona
lity through the m
usic. In this music, the und
erpa
rts a
re pla
yed a
t the sam
e volume a
nd w
ith the sam
e conviction as
the lead
.
5. Blues inflection should p
ermea
te all p
arts a
t all tim
es, not just when
these opp
ortunities occur in the lead
.
6. Vib
rato is used
quite a
bit to w
arm
up the sound
. Saxes (w
ho most
frequently rep
resent the sensual sid
e of things) usua
lly emp
loy vib
rato on ha
rmonized
pa
ssag
es and
no vibra
to on unisons. The vib
rato ca
n be either hea
vy or light d
epend
ing on the context.
Occa
sionally sa
xes use a lig
ht vibra
to on unisons. Trump
ets (w
ho very often are used
for heat a
nd p
ower) use a
little vibra
to on ha
rmonized
pa
ssag
es and
no vibra
to on unisons. Tromb
ones (w
ho are usua
lly noble) d
o not use slide vib
rato. A
little lip vib
rato is
good
on harm
onized p
assa
ges a
t times. Try to m
atch the sp
eed of
vibra
to. In genera
l unisons are p
layed
with no vib
rato.
7. Crescend
o as you a
scend a
nd d
iminuend
o as you d
escend.
The upp
er notes of phra
ses receive a na
tural a
ccent and
the low
er notes are g
hosted. A
lto and
tenor saxop
hones need to use
sub-tone in the low
er pa
rt of their rang
e in order to b
lend p
roperly
with the rest of the section. This m
usic wa
s origina
lly written w
ith no d
ynam
ics. It pretty m
uch follows the na
tural tend
encies of the instrum
ents; pla
y loud in the loud
pa
rt of the instrument a
nd soft in
the soft pa
rt of the instrument. For insta
nce, a hig
h C for a
trump
et w
ill be loud
and
a low
C w
ill be soft.
8. Qua
rter notes are g
enerally p
layed
short unless otherwise
notated
. Long m
arks a
bove or b
elow a
pitch ind
icate full va
lue: not just long
, but full va
lue. Eighth notes a
re pla
yed full va
lue excep
t when follow
ed b
y a rest or otherw
ise notated
. All notes
longer tha
n a q
uarter note a
re pla
yed full va
lue, which m
eans if it
is followed
by a
rest, release the note w
here the rest ap
pea
rs. For exa
mp
le, a ha
lf note occurring on b
eat one of a
mea
sure would
be
released
on bea
t three.
9. Unless they a
re pa
rt of a leg
ato b
ackg
round fig
ure, long notes
should b
e pla
yed som
ewha
t fp (forte-pia
no); accent then d
iminish
the volume. This is im
porta
nt so that the m
oving p
arts ca
n be
heard
over the sustained
notes. Don’t just hold
out the long notes,
but g
ive them life a
nd p
ersonality: tha
t is, vibra
to, inflection, crescend
o, or dim
inuendo. There is a
grea
t dea
l of inflection in this m
usic, and
much of this is hig
hly interpretive. Stra
ight or
curved lines im
ply non-p
itched g
lisses, and
wa
vy lines mea
n scala
r (chrom
atic or d
iatonic) g
lisses. In genera
l, all rhythm
ic figures need
to b
e accented
. Accents g
ive the music life a
nd sw
ing. This is very
imp
ortant.
10. Elling
ton’s music is a
bout ind
ividua
lity: one person p
er pa
rt—d
o not d
ouble up
beca
use you have extra
pla
yers or need m
ore strength.
More tha
n one on a p
art m
akes it sound
more like a
concert ba
nd
and
less like a ja
zz ba
nd.
11. This is a
coustic music. Keep
am
plifica
tion to an a
bsolute minim
um;
in the best ha
lls, alm
ost no am
plifica
tion should b
e necessary.
Everyone needs to d
evelop a
big
sound. It is the cond
uctor’s job to
ba
lance the b
and
. When a
guita
r is used, it should
be a
hollow-
bod
y, unam
plified
rhythm g
uitar. Sim
ple three-note voicing
s should
be used
throughout. A
n acoustic string
ba
ss is a m
ust. In med
iocre or p
oorly desig
ned ha
lls, the ba
ss and
pia
no ma
y need a
bit of
a b
oost. I recomm
end m
iking them
and
putting
them throug
h the house sound
system. This should
provid
e a m
uch better tone
than a
n am
plifier. Keep
in mind
that the rhythm
section’s prim
ary
function is to accom
pa
ny. The ba
ss should not b
e as loud
as a
trum
pet. Tha
t is unnatura
l and
lead
s to over-am
plifica
tion, ba
d
tone, and
limited
dyna
mics. Sta
y aw
ay from
monitors. They p
rovide
a fa
lse sense of ba
lance.
12. W
e have includ
ed chord
chang
es on all rhythm
section pa
rts so tha
t students ca
n better und
erstand
the overall form
of each
comp
osition. It is incumb
ent upon the d
irector to ma
ke clear w
hat
is a com
posed
pa
rt versus a p
art to b
e imp
rovised. The record
ings
should m
ake this clea
r but in insta
nces where it is not; use your
best jud
gm
ent and
pla
y something
that sound
s good
, is swing
ing,
and
is stylistically a
pp
ropria
te to the piece. Som
etimes, a
student
ma
y not have the technica
l skill to perform
a d
ifficult tra
nscription,
especia
lly in the case of one of D
uke’s solos, in that ca
se, it is best to
have the stud
ent work som
ething out tha
t is ap
prop
riate. W
ritten p
assa
ges should
be stud
ied a
nd ea
rned w
hen possib
le, as they
are a
n imp
ortant p
ort of our jazz herita
ge a
nd help
the pla
yer und
erstand
the function of his pa
rticular solo or a
ccomp
anim
ent. A
ll soloists should lea
rn the chord cha
nges. Solos should
be looked
a
t as a
n opp
ortunity to further develop
the interesting them
atic
ma
terial tha
t Ellington ha
s provid
ed.
13. The nota
tion of plung
ers for the bra
ss mea
ns a rub
ber toilet
plung
er boug
ht in a ha
rdw
are store. Kirkhill is a
very good
bra
nd
(especia
lly if you can find
one of their old ha
rd rub
ber ones, like the
one I loaned
Wynton a
nd he lost). Trum
pets use 5” d
iam
eter and
trom
bones use 6” d
iam
eter. Where Plung
er/Mute is nota
ted, insert
a p
ixie mute in the b
ell and
use the plung
er over the mute. Pixies
are a
vaila
ble from
Hum
es & Berg in C
hicag
o. Tricky Sam
Na
nton a
nd his successors in the Elling
ton plung
er tromb
one chair d
id not
use pixies. Ra
ther, each of them
emp
loyed a
Nonp
areil (tha
t’s the b
rand
nam
e) trump
et straig
ht mute. N
onpa
reil has g
one out of b
usiness, but the Tom
Crow
n Nonp
areil trum
pet stra
ight m
ute is very close to the sa
me thing
. These mute/p
lunger com
bina
tions crea
te a w
onderful sound
(very close to the huma
n voice), but
they also ca
n create som
e intonation p
roblem
s which m
ust be
corrected b
y the lip or b
y using a
lternate slid
e positions. It w
ould
be ea
sier to move the tuning
slide, b
ut pa
rt of the sound is in the
strugg
le to correct the pitch. If this p
roves too much, stick w
ith the p
ixie—it’s p
retty close.
14. The d
rumm
er is the de fa
cto lead
er of the ba
nd. H
e estab
lishes the b
eat a
nd controls the volum
e of the ensemb
le. For big
ba
nd
pla
ying, the d
rumm
er needs to use a
larg
er ba
ss drum
than he
would
for sma
ll group
drum
ming
. A 22” or 24” is p
referred. The b
ass
drum
is pla
yed softly (nea
rly inaud
ible) on ea
ch bea
t. This is called
fea
thering the b
ass d
rum. It p
rovides a
very imp
ortant b
ottom to
the ba
nd. The b
ass d
rum sound
is not a b
oom a
nd not a
thud—
it’s in betw
een. The larg
er size drum
is necessary for the kicks; a
sm
aller d
rum just w
on’t be hea
rd. The key to this style is to just keep
tim
e. A rim
knock on two a
nd four (chop
ping
wood
) is used to lock
in the swing
. When it com
es to pla
ying fills, the few
er, the better.
15. The horn p
layers should
stand
for their solos and
soIis. Brass
pla
yers should com
e dow
n front for mod
erate to long
solos, surround
ing rests p
ermitting
. The sam
e ap
plies to the p
ep
section (two trum
pets a
nd one trom
bone in p
lunger/m
utes).
16. H
orns should p
ay close a
ttention to atta
cks and
releases.
Everyone should hit tog
ether and
release tog
ether.
17. A
bove all, everyone’s focus should remain at all tim
es on the swing. A
s the great bassist C
huck lsraels says, “The three most im
portant things in jazz are rhythm
, rhythm, and rhythm
, in that order.” Or as Bubber
Miley (Ellington’s first star trum
peter) said, “It don’t mean a thing if it
ain’t got that swing.”
GLO
SSARYThe follow

e conventions of jazz
perform
ance, from
trad
itional N
ew O
rleans to the p
resent ava
nt ga
rde.
Break • within the context of a
n ongoing
time feel, the rhythm
section stops for one, tw
o, or four ba
rs. Very often a soloist w
ill imp
rovise during
a
brea
k.
Call and response • rep
etitive pa
ttern of contrasting
exchang
es (d
erived from
the church proced
ure of the minister m
aking
a sta
tement
and
the congreg
ation a
nswering
with “a

all-a
nd-resp
onse p
atterns usua

rovisation. The num
bers d
enote the am
ount of m
easures ea
ch soloist or group
pla
ys. Another term
frequently used
is “sw
ap
ping
fours.”
Coda • a
lso known a
s the “outro.” “Tag
s” or “tag
ending
s” are outg
rowths
of vaud
eville bow
s that a
re frequently used
as cod
as. They m
ost often use d
eceptive ca
dences tha
t finally resolve to the tonic or they g

ack to the tonic.
Com
p • imp
rovise accom
pa

Groove • the com
posite rhythm
. This genera
lly refers to the comb
ined
repetitive rhythm
ic pa
tterns of the drum
s, ba
ss, pia
no, and
guita
r, b
ut ma
y also includ
e repetitive p
atterns in the horns. Som
e grooves
are sta
nda
rd (i.e., sw
ing, b
ossa nova
, sam
ba
), while others a
re m
anufa
ctured (orig
inal com
bina
tions of rhythms).
Head • m
elody chorus.
Interlude • a d
ifferent form (of rela
tively short length) sa
ndw
iched
betw
een two chorus form
s. Interludes tha
t set up a
key chang
e are
simp

Intro • short for introduction.
Ride pattern • the most com
mon rep
etitive figure p
layed
by the
drum
mer’s rig
ht hand
on the ride cym
ba
l or hi-hat.
Riff • a rep
eated
melod
ic figure. Very often, riffs rep
eat verb
atim
or with
slight a
lterations w
hile the harm
onies chang
e undernea
th them.
Shout chorus • also know
n as the “out chorus,” the “sock chorus,” or
sometim
es shortened to just “the shout.” It is the fina
l ensemb
le pa
ssag
e of m
ost big
ba
nd cha
rts and
where the clim
ax m
ost often hap
pens.
Soli • a ha
rmonized
pa
ssag
e for two or m
ore instruments p
laying
the sa
me rhythm
. It is customa
ry for horn pla
yers to stand
up or even
move in front of the b
and
when p
laying
these pa
ssag
es. This is done so
that the a
udience ca
n hear them
better a
nd to p
rovide the a
udience
with som

soli sound p
articula

usic com
bines tw
o trump
ets and
tromb
one in plung
ers/mutes in tria
dic
harm
ony. This is called
the “pep
section.”
Stop time • a
regula
r pa
ttern of short brea
ks (usually filled
in by
a soloist).
Swing • the p
erfect confluence of rhythmic tension a
nd rela
xation in
music crea
ting a
feeling eup
horia a
nd cha
racterized
by a
ccented
wea
k bea
ts (a d

re p
layed
as the first a
nd third
eighth notes of a
n eighth-note trip
let. Duke
Ellington’s d
efinition of swing
: when the m
usic feels like it is getting
faster,
but it isn’t.
Vamp • a
repea
ted tw
o- or four-ba
r chord p
rogression. Very often, there
ma
y be a
riff or riffs pla
yed on the va
mp.
Voicing • the specific sp
acing
, inversion, and
choice of notes that m
ake
up a
chord. For insta
nce, two voicing
s for G7 could
be:
Note tha
t the first voicing includ
es a 9th a
nd the second
voicing includ
es a
9th and
a 13th. The a
dd

REHEARSAL N

• There a
re a ha
ndful of la

ark yea
rs in Ellington’s long
career:
opening
at the C
otton Club
in 1927, the New
port Ja
zz Festival
explosion of 1956, the V
ictor recording
s that sta
rted in 1940
, and
w
ithout a d

n Janua
ry 23rd of tha
t year, Elling
ton p
layed
his first of a series of a
nnual C
arneg
ie Ha
ll concerts. A
fter years of interna
tional recog
nition as one of the w
orld’s
grea
test comp
osers, Ellington fina
lly had
the chance to show
case
his comp
ositions and
orchestra a
t wha
t wa
s at the tim
e the m
ost respected
concert hall in his na
tive land
. The highlig
ht of the concert w
as the p
remiere of Elling
ton’s longest extend
ed
comp
osition, Black, Brown and Beige, w
hich he referred to a
s “a
tone pa
rallel to the history of the A
merica
n Neg
ro.”

mod
erate d
ynam
ic level. This calls
for serious attention to sub
tle gra
da
tions within a
pred
etermined
lim
it. One w
ay of d
oing this is to ha
ve the pla
yers dra
w a
horizontal
ma
p of the p
iece tracking
the levels of dyna
mics a
nd intensity; this
will ensure tha
t everyone is on the sam

• H
arry C
arney’s sound
and
phra
sing w
ere an ind
ispensa
ble
element of Elling
ton’s music for over 45 yea
rs. In order to truly
ma
ke this piece com
e to life, have the soloist p
ractice a
long w
ith the orig
inal record
ing (it’s the 1958 C
olumb
ia LP version—
not the ea
rlier ones). Try and
ma
tch the precise p

nd
even the sound (ea

You ma

• The feel of the trum

the first note, d
ecide p
recisely when you w
ill atta

• Trum
