Bring your trumpets out front and let them herald in the holiday season, starting with a fanfare that leads into a fun, swinging version of this well known carol. It's easy to work up, and it's playable with limited instrumentation so it will sound fine with as few as 2 trumpets. After playing through the tune, the bones, bass & bari get a fun riff going. Then the saxes and trumpets trade twos over it. This leads up to a key change and the trumpets lead the way to the end. No solos.

Grade 3

SKU: CL.032-4762-01

Composed by Carl Strommen. Jazz Ensemble. Extra full score. C.L. Barnhouse #032-4762-01. Published by C.L. Barnhouse (CL.032-4762-01).

Carl Strommen offers up this wonderful swing chart with an easy, relaxed Basie big band feel. Written solos to feature trumpet and tenor sax, or let them loose to improvise on the changes. Written for a full jazz ensemble yet will sound great with limited instrumentation. A wonderful choice for contest and festival use. This one will really get you into the Swing Zone..
