Good Morning Tim
Thanks for the Email. I shall be attempting a stride (intentionally without pedal) version of ’Satin Doll’ at the the JP5 workshop.
Look forward to seeing you.
Best Wishes - sam

Hi All,
Hi All,
Hope you are all well and have enjoyed the summer… I’m just off for a late
‘holiday’ in the North of England, back on 20 September.
At the last JP5 meeting I think we agreed to make DUKE ELLINGTON the
focus of next term’s classes. He actually wrote 100s of tunes, so I suggest
choosing from this list:
Prelude to a Kiss
In A Sentimental Mood (arrangement in EJP1)
Satin Doll
Sophisticated Lady
Come Sunday (arrangement in ‘Jazz Latin & Modern Collection’)
Don’t Get Around Much Anymore
It Don’t Mean Thing…
Let me know if you need charts for any of these. If you have my trio CD
‘Shapeshifting’, it includes versions of ‘Prelude to a Kiss’ and ‘Come
Sunday’.
For now, maybe focus on the MELODY rather than the improv. I suggest
preparing your tune one of two ways (or both):
1 – As a SOLO PIANO arrangement
Possible left hand styles: Two-feel bass, walking bass, shells, stride,
pseudo-stride.
2 – As if in a TRIO with a bass player
Possible LH styles: Shells, rootless voicings
In either style, don’t forget to explore different varieties of TWO-HANDED
voicings, eg:
Polychords, Shearing block chords, drop two, shells with 2 or 3 notes in RH
(4- or 5- part harmony, melody on top).
See you Thursday 22 October!
Best wishes,
Tim
