It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing)

This is the Duke Ellington classic as it was performed by Woody Herman and his Thundering Herd. John Fedchok was a trombonist and arranger for Woody's band, so this arrangement is truly authentic. Now John is active as a big band leader himself and is a well-traveled jazz clinician. He is indeed well-respected in the field, and we at Warner Bros. Publications are proud to make this outstanding chart available for the first time. (duration 6:27)
