Product Description
Mr. Bojangles, arranged for string quartet by Tim Crooks. This ever popular choice for weddings was originally written by Jerry Jeff Lewis, but has been recorded by many artists since, including Sammy Davis Jnr, Nina Simone and Robbie Williams. This arrangement is based on the beautiful Nina Simone version.
Its also a good, playable introduction to swung quavers and playing on the back of the beat for student groups, mostly written in first position.
