The publisher distinguishes takes 1 and 2 of Duke and Dukie. This is one work with two performance studies, not two new tunes. Both Fo 1783 references remain in the archive. Compare the first melodic statement in both takes and find a gesture that changes while the underlying phrase remains recognisable.

Your assignment
Write a short rhythm-only comparison of the same phrase in both versions. Play one, rest, then answer with the other.
Loop these changes
Write a short rhythm-only comparison of the same phrase in both versions. Play one, rest, then answer with the other.
Agree the phrase cue and a light repeated chord pulse; avoid chasing every solo accent with a new chord attack.
Metronome
Use a quiet quarter-note click for short loops. Keep the preceding rest and the next entry in the loop; remove the click briefly to test internal time.
Transposition
After learning the chosen fragment and its actual harmony, move that fragment to one nearby key by naming the target notes. Do not transpose an unverified progression.
At the session
Confirm the composition identity, concert key and complete arrangement before calling the tune. Agree pickup and ending together.
Start together
Use the chosen recording’s entry cue only after checking its phrase length.
Finish together
Agree a plain final arrival and a visible cutoff; do not assume a live video’s tag is universal.
The inherited Part I/II labels do not establish consecutive halves; do not splice the takes or claim exact video-to-matrix mapping.

Arranging the tune
Solo guitar
Begin with the melody alone, then add only independently established bass arrivals. Agree the phrase cue and a light repeated chord pulse; avoid chasing every solo accent with a new chord attack.
Trio or larger group
Agree the phrase cue and a light repeated chord pulse; avoid chasing every solo accent with a new chord attack.
Vocal considerations

Illustration credit & provenance
Original AI-assisted illustration created for Djangopedia
Original AI-assisted editorial artwork inspired by the tune’s mood; not a documented historical scene.
Generated with the native image-generation tool on 2026-10-21; original editorial artwork, not a historical photograph.
Prompt: Use case: stylized-concept. Asset: one original Djangopedia tune illustration, landscape 1536x1024, 3:2. Title context only, do not write words: Duke and Dukie — two takes.
Scene: A mature moustached guitarist plays the same jaunty gesture toward two differently angled empty chairs. A violinist compares the two with a wry expression; two takes suggested by dry graphic repetition.
Style: witty 1950s cartoon serigraph, dry graphic and unsentimental. Confident chunky contours, flat separate ink shapes, mildly exaggerated expressive adult faces and hands, humorous posture, strong asymmetric composition. Limited palette: deep navy, sage, vermilion and cream. Slight screen-print misregistration and occasional dry ink texture, generous clean paper. No gradients or glossy shading.
Django-like guitarist where present: documented swept-back dark hair and thin pencil moustache, individual mature face. Supporting adults are distinct individuals in historically informed 1930s–1940s jazz-circle clothing. No ethnic caricatures or stereotypes. Keep heads, hands and instrument bodies within the frame, plausible instrument anatomy.
No text, letters, numerals, notation, logos, watermark, border, photorealism, dreamy sunset, hearts or romantic haze. Imagined editorial scene, not a documented event. Entirely original composition, no reproduction of an existing artist’s print.
