The Songs Of Duke Ellington Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Just for the record:
Amazon is confusing this book with another one that they offer. In the "Book Description" in the Editorial Review above they incorrectly advertise this collection as having '36' of his songs within. There are '22' songs, not 36. There 'is' another very similar Ellington songbook with an almost identical cover that indeed 'does' have the 36 songs they advertise. That book is 'not' in the EZ Play format however. If you want to look at the 36 song version, it is ISBN: 0793540127 (just copy and paste that number into Amazon's search box). You can compare the two books and make a more informed decision about which book you might prefer.

I own this music book and find myself often going to it to play Ellington's wonderful melodies. He was a master craftsman; he was a genius.

This is in the EZ Play format which means that if you can read music minimally the tunes are easy to play.

Songs listed within:

***Boy Meets Horn

***C-Jam Blues

***Caravan

***Cotton Tail

***The Creole Love Call

***Day Dream

***Do Nothin' Till You Hear From Me

***Don't Get Around Much Anymore

***East St. Louis Toodle-Oo

***I Got It Bad And That Ain't Good

***I Let A Song Go Out Of My Heart

***I'm Just A Lucky So And So

***In A Sentimental Mood

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

***Just Squeeze Me (But Don't Tease Me)

***Love You Madly

***Mood Indigo

***Prelude To A Kiss

***Ring Dem Bells

***Satin Dolls

***Solitude

***Sophisticated Lady
