Though written in 1917 by Art Hickman in the ragtime era, Rose Room became immensely popular as a swing standard after the 1939 recording by Benny Goodman and his sextet which also featured (for the first time) guitarist Charlie Christian. This arrangement pays homage to that recording. The introduction and first chorus is a transcription of Goodman's solo. It is incredibly lyrical and exquisitely phrased and it also lays well for brass. The first few bars of the Charlie Christian solo are a natural for the trombone. After that the arrangement is developed from the preceding materials. The third chorus features a written tuba solo, and by the end, everyone has had a chance to earn a bow. Moderate ranges are featured with trumpet 1 to written A above the staff, and trombone to A-flat.
