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!
