Caravan, Duke Ellington’s Jazz Head On Guitar

Direct Link; Caravan, first performed by Duke Ellington, is a fun chord melody and because of its chromatic phases is not as hard to play as it sounds. Like the name implies it has that Arabic (Hollywood style) haunting melody. The A section of the song is built around a altered dominant sound which builds tension and gives an improviser lots of time to develop their altered dominant jazz lines. The song is a must for all jazz guitarists. 23 minu
