Caravan

This timeless Duke Ellington standard is one of his most recognizable tunes. "Caravan" combines the styles of Latin and big band jazz. Using interesting textures and alternating between a Latin groove and swing, this is a very effective production number with limited technical demands, making is great for less experienced musicians. "Caravan - Concert Band" weighs 16.00 oz.
