Looking for an accordion arrangement for Duke Ellingtons It dont mean a thing if it aint got that swing. Something along the lines of these two videos:

Egle Bartkeviciute playing a Frank Marocco arrangement

Uwe Steger, unknown arrangement

Neither of the two books of Frank Maroccos Jazz arrangements from Carisch has it (Vol. 2).

I have found a possible candidate: Transcription by Schwarzien Ralf, (one can see the first and last pages by clicking on the images in that page).

Can you suggest a source?

Thanks,

Musicnotes.com has 26 arrangements, and sheetmusic direct.com has 28 - none specifically for accordion but that should get you started.
 
There is a version in the Jazz Accordion Songbook by Pete Lee.

Thanks, I am hoping to find an accordion-specific version. Instant gratification takes too long.
 
Arigo Tomasi has a good version on his web site. You can get a simple version for free or the full arrangement as a member.
