What is in the Robin Nolan gig book?

djangology

The Robin Nolan gig book includes chords and heads. Paul and Robin have carefully edited nine songs from the six books' catalogue of 68 Play-Along songs. They then added a fresh selection of 17 jam and Samois-proven Django tunes, giving The Gig Book a whopping
total of 76 songs!

The seventeen new Django songs include:

+ Blues D'Autrefois
+ Confessin' That I Love You
+ Danse Norvegienne
+ Dinette
+ Festival 48
+ I Love You
+ I've Found a New Baby
+ Moppin' the Bride
+ Oriental Shuffle
+ Place de Broukere
+ Rose Room
+ Some of These Days
+ Swingtime in the Springtime
+ Three Little Words
+ Topsy
+ Undecided
+ You're Drivin' Me Crazy

These are classic Django and Gypsy numbers, many receiving regular play-time at Django djam sessions. For one reason or another they have not found their way into the Play-Along series. Their inclusion in The Gig Book is a welcome addition indeed.

The nine songs "dropped" from the list include:

- Bar del Pi
- Icelandic Folksong
- Latcho Drom
- Luna Tango
- Manha de Carnaval (Black Orpheus)
- Mediterranean Blues
- Out of Nowhere
- September Song
- Summertime

Is there an arrangement of La Vie En Rose in Nolan's Gigbook? we have one on order, but Michael's been backordered since July

djangology

No. Thats not really a gypsy jazz standard. You might find it in a book in a different genre of music...

Gregocide

does the gig book show usable chord voicings or is it just lead sheets?

WColsher

Yep - each song is a two page layout with a tab head on the left and a "grille" on the right with chord diagrams below that.

That is awesome. Does it come with CD(s)?

I sent you a private message

No CD. You have to get the play-along books for that.
