N.V. Meaning in Jazz

Question

I play in a big band.

One arrangement we play has "N.V." In quite a lot of the parts. Particularly in trombone and saxophone parts.

Any ideas what it might mean?

@happyhacker the piece dramatically changes its feel at this point. It goes from swing to straight with everyone playing crotchets. — stormCloud, Commented Aug 23, 2017 at 22:06

The "N.V" just means No Vibrato.
