Edward Kennedy ?Duke? Ellington?s influence on the swing era as musician, bandleader and composer is unparalleled. His arrangement of his own composition It Don?t Mean a Thing (If It Ain?t Got That Swing) is perhaps the first to carry the word ?swing? in the title, thereby coining a musical phrase. Toshio Mashima?s stylish arrangement of this jazz standard for concert band hits the perfect note.

From John La Barbera's latest big band recording here is the title cut – a masterful arrangement of this little-known Ellington gem. The tempo is moderate in an African/Latin vein and features a wealth of interestingorchestrational colors within the context of the big band. Featured solos include tenor or soprano sax and piano. Unique and dynamic!From the Jazz Compass recording Fantazm by the John La Barbera Big Band(JC1011)
