This up-beat, swinging arrangement of O Little Town of Bethlehem checks all the boxes! The jazzy statement of the tune features hip unison lines with some punchy ensemble support. Modest solo changes (suggested solos are included) will encourage your budding improvisers. The change-of-pace middle section is established by the insistent tom-tom rhythm (sleighbells included!), while the band builds up the riffs to the restatement of the theme, and a powerful climax. Larry Neeck’s unique arrangement of this classic carol will get toes tapping, and hands clapping with holiday spirit!

You’ve got the winning recipe with this great chart by Larry Neeck. This up-tempo swinger has it all; jazzy sax lines, strong brass hooks, and a powerhouse shout-chorus to top it all off. It even has a couple of short Gene Krupa styled solos for the drummer. Suggested solos are provided and the chart is playable with a limited instrumentation. An excellent choice for any mid-level band performance. Your band has got the formula to swing with Horns + Rhythm = Swing!.

With a catchy melody, jazzy call-and-response licks, and a fun Latin feel, Hop, Skip ‘Nda Jump really bounces off the page. It initially features the 1st trumpet, and alto then adds in the rest of the band to Hop, Skip 'nda Jump their way in to a great concert closer. The solo section is open with straight ahead changes and simple backgrounds then a bridge that gives each section a chance to leap up and take their turn. It ends with a big shout chorus and even with modest brass ranges it's scored so that it sounds full and exciting!
