GREAT AMERICAN BANJO SONGBOOK –  Created by gifted composers and lyricists, the songs that comprise the The Great American Songbook are the most influential popular and jazz standards of the early 20th century to come from Broadway stages and film screens. These American standards have been celebrated by vocalists for decades, and Hal Leonard is proud to offer them to a new audience.

This 70-song collection, masterfully arranged by Alan Munde and Beth Mead-Sullivan for 3-finger, Scruggs-style 5-string banjo, will help players explore the repertoire already beloved by pianists and crooners. Rhythm tab, right hand fingerings and chord diagrams are included for each of these beloved melodies.

Songs include: “Ain’t She Sweet,” “All of Me,” “Blue Skies,” “Cheek to Cheek,” “Embraceable You,” “Fly Me to the Moon,” “Home on the Range,” “It Had to Be You,” “The Nearness of You,” “Over the Rainbow,” “Pennies from Heaven,” “Stardust,” “Sweet Georgia Brown,” and many more.

BRIGHT MUNDE CD –
Alan Munde & Billy Bright

Billy Bright, a great friend and wonderful musician, lives very near by, and for several years we have been making music together in various formats (see Two High String Band – Hot Texas Burrito). Here we are playing in a duo format – just banjo and mandolin (I grew up musically on the sound of Doug Dillard’s banjo and Dean Webb’s mandolin in the Dillards – always loved that sound). We have put our heads together and come up with the 13 pieces recorded on Bright Munde – 10 original, 2 traditional, and 1 Bill Monroe number. It was a real creative boost for me to work with Billy. What was way cool is that he made my few original numbers make sense and really come to life. Hope you enjoy the banjo and mandolin music we made.
