Jazzin’ Merry Gentlemen presents a hip, swing version of God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen that really cooks! A powerful, full-ensemble intro sets the table for the soli trombone statement of the tune, which is punctuated by colorful brass riffs, and unison sax lines. Next, a catchy low tom drum riff builds to the solo, where changes are modest, with suggested solos included. A hard-hitting restatement of the theme then builds to a powerful conclusion. Jazzin’ Merry Gentlemen will be the hit of your holiday concert.

Spice up your repertoire with hip-hop! The initial riff-based melody is augmented with pyramid figures from the rest of the ensemble. The coiled energy that is built up in this first section of the tune is released into the kinetic motion of the B section. This leads to an extended tenor sax solo that will really allow your soloist to stretch out. A stop time low brass feature follows, which leads back into the head of the tune, where the ensemble can ride it out to the end.
