The Intimacy of the Blues

The Intimacy of the Blues

$60

The Intimacy of the Blues is notable not just for it’s striking melody–this was one of the very last compositions ever written by longtime Ellington collaborator Billy Strayhorn. This medium tempo Eb blues is good for a band of any skill level, and a great historical addition to your book.
