Jazz standards lend themselves to the trombone with the shuffle rhythm in that hard eighth-note driven rhythmic style. Jazz standards that work well as shuffles include the Charles Mingus tune "Nostalgia in Times Square," "Darn that Dream" by Jimmy Van Heusen and "Billies Bounce" by Charlie Parker.
Blues tunes such as "The Thrill is Gone" by B.B King and "Black Magic Woman" by Fleetwood Mac also adapt well to the shuffle rhythm and have unusual harmonic changes for soloing over on trombone.
Latin music uses the trombone on the big band format. The syncopated rhythms of Latin music make for a compelling sound on trombone as a solo instrument, and many Latin tunes thrive with the driving rhythm of the shuffle. "Partido Alto" by Charlie Parker stands out in this style.
Pop music has various tunes in its repertoire that are appropriate to use with the shuffle rhythm when performing on solo trombone. Tunes such as "New York, New York" or "I Did it My Way" by Frank Sinatra make excellent tunes for adaptation. More current music such as Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream" add an unexpected twist for listeners. Many instrumentalists perform interpretations using jazz- or blues-derived rhythms when performing pop tunes.
