Savoy Strut
Savoy Strut
as performed by Johnny Hodges and His Orchestra
$60
Savoy Strut is a major hidden gem from the swing era! Duke Ellington starts the tune up with an unusually angular intro, which takes us to a winding but singable head. The soloists play over a beautiful and remarkable chord progression which also features some player-specific orchestration choices that take advantage of the unique sounds of his players. This is fairly easy for a level 3 and a must-have for any Ellington 7-piece ensemble!
