Swinging in the Dell
Swinging in the Dell
as performed by Johnny Hodges and His Orchestra
$60
This upbeat Hodges/Ellington piece is a variation on the old nursery rhyme The Farmer in the Dell. After a statement of the melody, it’s all solos with background riffs until the melody comes back at the end. Swinging in the Dell is a very simple solo vehicle that’s great for getting dancers on the floor! Note: The trombone part is a little high for a level 2, up to an Ab.
