Sheet Music

Rob Ames is an accomplished arranger of jazz standards in "Real Book", lead-sheet format. From 2020-2021, he self-published two real books for his own group: "Boardwalk Jazz Quartet Tune Book 1", and "Boardwalk Jazz Quartet Tune Book 2". Each book has two separate versions  - one for Concert instruments, and one for Bb instruments.

Rob's two books are not available for sale as of this date. However, most of Rob's arrangements from the two books ARE available online, for $5 per arrangement. Rob's publisher page on Sheet Music Plus (SMP), and his arranger search landing page on  Sheet Music Direct (SMD), lists his over 150+ arrangements.
