Jay Althouse revisits a little-known gem by George Gershwin from nearly 100 years ago: a winsome melody winds over a terrain of jazz chords before melting into lush choral harmony. Flexible tempos and expressive phrases lend themselves well to poignant, heartfelt singing.

Jolly jing-a-ling-a's provide hip transitions and bright bookends in this jazzed-up version of the great Christmas standard. Kirby's arrangement fits the tune like a glove, and will last in your library year after year. Eight bars in the middle may be repeated as many times as desired, and opened up to include vocal and/or instrumental soloists, improvisation, scat singing, gradual stacking of written lines, etc. Just be sure to save a little something for the shout chorus that follows! SoundPax includes four horn parts, but easily adapts for rhythm section alone.
