No Love, No Nothin': Piano/Vocal/Chords Digital Sheet Music

Brassy, confident, and unapologetic. The song carries the swagger of a performer who knows exactly what they want and isn't settling for anything less. It's playful without being precious, and the musical language sits somewhere between jazz and Broadway comedy.

Singers performing jazz standards, Broadway repertoire, or cabaret material who want a lead sheet format that includes a written accompaniment for rehearsal and performance. Pianists collaborating with vocalists will find the chords essential for accompanying and arranging variations.

• Lean into the rhythmic swagger of the accompaniment; this song swings, so let the piano's rhythmic placement sit just slightly behind the beat to create pocket and attitude.
• Shape the vocal line with clear character choices rather than vocal technical perfection. The lyrical attitude matters more than flawless diction here.
• Use the chord symbols to explore variations in the piano's rhythmic comping once you've got the basic figure locked in.

Program this alongside other American popular standards or jazz numbers in a cabaret concert, recital, or theatrical revue. It pairs well with similarly confident character songs and works equally well as a solo feature or in a jazz ensemble context.
