We learn a new jazz standard every single month, and it's something that our members have a lot of fun doing.
The song we are learning is It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing) by Duke Ellington!
Take a look:
It Don't Mean a Thing is one of those jazz songs that is so classic that practically everyone has heard the song before. As musicians it's well worth our time to learn it because it's packed full of common and essential jazz harmony.
If your goal is to play at jam sessions, you're going to want to know this one!
