Description

This chart REALLY SWINGS!!! This is a great opportunity to really show off the band swingin’ like crazy. A Christmas song everybody is familiar with, they will LOVE this version! If you are thinking about an outdoor concert or performances in the mall, this would be a perfect “bridge” song. Did I mention that it really swings?

This is the most flexible Holiday/Christmas project you will ever find!

This arrangement features a soloist plus full big band. Here is where the unbelievable flexibility comes in!

There is a written out part for EVERY solo for trumpet, trombone, saxophone and a vocalist.

4 complete versions of this arrangement were recorded with each one featuring a different solo instrument.
(there is a trumpet, trombone, saxophone and vocalist version of the entire record)

Also, this arrangement was recorded with full big band, but you could use a 2/2/2 horn section (trumpet/sax/trombone) if you do not have access to all the players.

ANY size group. ANY soloist on ANY song. Maximum flexibility!
