Take a well-known holiday classic, give it to a creative arranger, and you get a hard driving rock chart that's filled with instrumental and dynamic contrasts! After an attention-getting introduction, a few bars of the melody are played quietly in 3/4. Then it's straight-ahead rock in 4/4. The open solo section for any instrument has only two chords, and the chart works fine even if the solo section is omitted. A very impressive chart at the medium-easy level. The trumpets never leave the staff. It's the perfect something different for your holiday concerts.

The Iguana Returns is a grade 2 funk chart. The nomadic iguana (first introduced in a previous release in this series, Please Don't Climb On The Iguana) is a steel sculpture outside of the Science Museum of Minnesota in St. Paul. Since the earlier piece, the Science Museum has changed locations, so the iguana had to leave for a time. It has since returned to its new home, looking forward to new adventures in the future.

Originally recorded as a soprano sax solo feature on the Sammy Sammy Nestico CD A Portrait Of Sammy, this arrangement allows two soloing options: playing it as a (1) soprano feature played by the 2nd Alto player, or as a (2) tenor feature played by the 1st Tenor player. Either way, the haunting solo leaves plenty of room for individual interpretation.
