Unsung Hero: Great Sinatra Standards performed on Trombone. For trombone. Instrumental Solo Part and CD. Published by Music Minus One (MO.MMOCD3906).

ISBN 1596154640.

George Roberts, trombonist with Nelson Riddle and soloist on most of the famed Sinatra recordings, performs these standards, in a master class for trombonists. Mr. Roberts has performed on film soundtracks in over 4,000 films, and has accompanied such stellar performers as Sammy Davis Jr. and dozens of other headliners in Hollywood and Las Vegas. His career is the subject of legends. Listen, learn and perform!

Includes a high-quality printed solo part; and a compact disc with complete versions (with soloist) followed by the orchestral accompaniments to each piece, minus the soloist.

Not Bad at All ....

I like it. Other reviewer's have expressed dissatisfaction with the songs not being on the CD in the same order as they are in the book. This hasn't bothered me, as there is a directory in the book listing the song order. The background tracks are good, with a "full"...

good arrangments

The pages are all mixed up compared to what is on the disc. The solo instrumentalist is excellent and this disc also makes for an enjoyable CD purchase with his playing. He takes more liberties with the music (of which he does a great job) but it may throw you...
