Jazz setting of the infamous poem by Robert Frost for voice, piano, bass, and drums. Great for a winter gig.

A light & pleasant Latin-jazz piece which would work well on a variety of instruments. Easy to play with pretty normal chord changes in the A-section and a slightly more interesting B-section. Rhythm section players are encouraged to improvise their own accompaniment to the melody, but there is a basic written piano part for use if desired.

This is a simplistic leadsheet arrangement of this well-known classic tune, designed to be of particular use to those who are getting to grips with improvisation and want something fairly easy chord-wise. Comes with full parts in Bb, Eb, C treble and C bass. Further transpositions available upon request.

This arrangement also has potential for more complex treatment with more experienced performers. I’ve designed it so that it can be played by any number of instruments and would be a fun and popular piece to play at gigs.

Please get in touch at michael.roberts@ucl.ac.uk with any feedback you may have.

Long Road to Georgia is a simple trad jazz tune, written at a time when I felt a longing to be back home (which isn't Georgia, that just had a better ring to it than my actual home).

Do check out the recording for a mock-up rendition. The strings are improvised and aren't necessary, but make the song sound a bit sweeter. The last play-through of the tune in the recording is done with other instruments improvising around the tune for a proper Dixieland feel. I wholeheartedly recommend this - it adds so much to the overall feel if you've got other instruments noodling around. The slow, simple chord progression makes this a really good tune for people who are newer to jazz & improvisation.
