Bye Bye Blackbird

"Caravan" is a jazz standard composed by Juan Tizol and Duke Ellington, and first performed by Ellington in 1936. Irving Mills wrote seldom performed lyrics. Its exotic sound interested exotica musicians; Martin Denny, Arthur Lyman, and Gordon Jenkins all covered it. Woody Allen used the song in two of his films, Alice and Sweet and Lowdown. The song is also heavily featured in the 2014 film Whiplash as an important plot element. The Mills Brothers recorded an a cappella version, making the instruments' sounds with their voices, and Johnny Mathis recorded the song in 1956. There are more than 350 recordings of this song by Duke Ellington's orchestra, the great majority of them now in the public domain. ~Wikipedia

Hey there!

I've been listening to a lot of music by the Don Ellis Band recently, and so I decided to share a remake of the intro to "Whiplash". I worked from an orchestral score I found online, edited some parts, then put them together as a quick MIDI file to share. I might come back to this at a later date and pick some better sounds to work with, but for now, I think it serves its purpose.  

This was more of an exercise for myself anyway, and a great experience to work with some more complicated music for a change. Just thought I'd share it anyway! :)
