I love Duke Ellington, and this arrangement of 'I'm Beginning To See the Light' lets me feel like I'm part of a real jazz ensemble! As an adult learner, the Grade 3-4 level is a good, achievable challenge. It's so enjoyable to play, and the vocal feature makes it perfect for local community groups. It definitely captures that classic swing feel I adore.
