This extremely interesting original is based on a modified New Orleans-style street beat. A 'gritty' bass part really helps add to the style and there are plenty of opportunities for your pianist to add fills throughout. A tenor solo leads into some creative ensemble writing and a driving shout chorus. Very unique and destined to be one of the bestsellers this year!

This exciting genre-bending collectionof songs guitar tabs and more is great for non-traditional Americana songwriters guitar players looking to turn up the twang fiddlers/violinists looking for their roots and anyone inspired to start their own DIYhillbilly-blues harmonica and washboard band.

This clever chart is unlike anything out there and really grooves! Based on Beethoven?s ever-popular für Elise this jazz waltz is based on a C minor blues progression with a shout chorus in 4/4. Optional vibraphone is included to give a little color to the typical jazz instrumentation. Don?t be one of the few that miss out on this one once you hear it you?ll be hooked!

There’s no riddle when it comes to the success of Rob Vuono’s jazz charts! His ability to create a complex sounding chart that is extremely easy to play makes this one a guaranteed winner. Starting off with a simple swing 2 feel the chart builds into a steady 4. A brief interlude drops the key down a half step before moving back up creating the illusion of a key change without one ever occurring! Fabulous writing by one of the top jazz arrangers in the country!

Reminiscent of a patriotic Kenton arrangement this chart is great to use for your spring concert. Also ideal to change the pace of your standard jazz repertoire. Great sounds!

This timeless spiritual classic gets the front burner treatment from Disney writer Chris Sharp. A lush opening chorale gives way to a driving New Orleans street beat with tenor solo (as written or with changes) and an easy shout chorus. A real cooker!

This hot swing chart has a unique whole tone introduction that really sets the mood for the melody based on the changes from Take the A-Train. Tenor 1 and trumpet 2 share the solo spotlight in this one (and written solos are provided for less experienced jazz musicians). Exactly what you’ve come to expect from the professional arranging skills of Rob Vuono this one will have you coming out with Both Hands Swingin’!
