To be completely honest i never really had any interest in playing Ellington tunes. This one jumped out at me, likely since it's so different from his normal compositions. One big difference being that the original doesnt include any piano either! What do you mean by lineup? The musicians or the songs to be on the album? </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">-Madison<br><br><div class="gmail_quote" dir="auto"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Feb 3, 2020, 6:34 AM Marek Boym <<a href="mailto:marekboym@gmail.com" target="_blank">marekboym@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div>Very nice indeed.

I've been sifting through more obscure selections of trad. I fell in love with Awful Sad as soon as <i> </i>I heard it. It is pretty different from most Ellington tunes I've and I really enjoy all those spooky harmonies. We're obviously arranging it for a much smaller ensemble than ellington intended but I think it came out well.
