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.

Als geen ander heeft Edward Kennedy ‘Duke’ Ellington als musicus, bandleider en componist grote invloed gehad op het tijdperk van de swing. De titel It Don’t Mean a Thing (If It Ain’t Got That Swing), die hij zowel componeerde als arrangeerde, is waarschijnlijk de eerste songtitel die het woord ‘swing’ bevat. Daarmee was er een nieuw muziekbegrip geboren! Toshio Mashima heeft met zijn arrangement de oorspronkelijke stijl van het origineel goed bewaard. It Don´t Mean a Thing: de jazzstandaard bij uitstek!

Edward Kennedy Duke“ Ellington nahm wie kaum ein anderer als Musiker, Bandleader und Komponist Einfluss auf die Swing-Ära. Der von ihm komponierte und arrangierte Titel It Don’t Mean a Thing (If It Ain’t Got That Swing) ist vermutlich der erste Songtitel, der das Wort Swing“ in sich trägt und den Begriff damit in seiner musikalischen Bedeutung prägte. Toshio Mashima schrieb ein stilgerechtes Arrangement des Jazzstandards für Blasorchester.

L’influenc e d’Edward Kennedy «Duke» Ellington sur l’ère du swing en tant que musicien, chef d’orchestre et compositeur est inégalée. Sa propre composition It Don’t Mean a Thing (If It Ain’t Got That Swing) est sans doute la première dont le titre inclut le mot «swing», popularisant ainsi ce terme. Toshio Mashima a produit un arrangement élégant de ce standard du jazz pour orchestre d’harmonie.

Edward Kennedy “Duke” Ellington ha influenzato come nessun altro l’et della swing. It Don’t Mean a Thing (If It Ain’t Got That Swing) è il titolo della canzone divenuta uno standard jazz, composta nel 1931. Fu forse la prima canzone ad usare il termine “swing” nel titolo, facendolo così entrare nel linguaggio comune. Il brano rimase nel repertorio dell’orchestra per decenni e fu eseguito ad ogni concerto. L’arrangiamento assolutamente in stile di Toshio Mashima rende onore all’originale.

“Ther e are some people for whom the act of nurturing is innate.The work they do is often unheralded, acknowledgement of their effort the last thing on their mind. But nurturers carry pain, too. Their own burdens, anxieties and hardships often take a back seatto that nurturing impulse. This piece is a meditation on that idea; that some people, not without their own deep personal obstacles, can't help but live out the powerful instinct to hold those around them in a warm embrace of care.” ~Edward Fairlie Dur: 4:50 (Recorded by the Eltham High School Symphonic Band, directed by Rick Plummer, guest conductor Edward Fairlie).

9 x 12 inches.

The title of this march, The Trombone Section, is rather misleading, for it is not the trombones that have the most technical parts, but rather the trumpets and upper woodwinds. Composed in 1920, the opening of the march makes a great concert opener. A bold and technical fanfare is followed by a more relaxed, yet still technical first strain, which is in turn followed by a very driving second strain. The trio features a wonderful obligato scored in first trumpet and woodwinds, while the trombones carry the melodic material. The march works well as various tempos between 108 and 144 beats per minute depending upon the technical facility of the ensemble.
