The traditional Irish carol fits nicely over a Partido Alto Latin feel. The two-measure ostinato dances under a legato melody played by five saxes and a flugelhorn. Solo transcriptions for flugel and alto sax are drawn from the demo recording. Carefully-notated rhythm section parts spool down to a winsome last chord for piano and guitar. This is not just a charming and playable holiday chart. It's also a great entry point to an important South American style! Top trumpet note: F5.

This rock rendition of the classic holiday carol Away in a Manger is great fun for bands to play, and audiences to hear! With an irresistible groove, this arrangement includes an open solo section for any instrument, and includes a written solo option. While written for traditional big band instrumentation, it is playable with just rhythm section and a single trumpet, trombone, alto saxophone and tenor saxophone. Limited ranges make this highly accessible to a wide range of bands. Check this out!

The jaunty traditional melody (Here We Come A-Caroling) appears briefly in its original 6/8 time, before we're off on full-ensemble, straight-ahead swing. A brief sax soli and some short drum set interjections take the role of soloist. Nothing but holiday cheer from end-to-end. Top trumpet note: G 5.

It's holiday mash-up time! This is a clever combination of the traditional carol with sultry Brazilian jazz a la Stan Getz. Two transcribed solos are provided for tenor sax and trumpet (or flugelhorn) that mirror the recorded solos, or they can be improvised as desired. The rhythm section parts are fully realized along with suggested piano voicings and bass lines. This is a relaxed and laid-back chart that features sectional solis and the full ensemble for a fresh and modern addition to holiday concert repertoire. Optional parts are included for flute/violin, clarinet and F horn, and the lead trumpet range is to written E top of staff. Highly recommended!

Understated, straight-ahead swing à la Dave Brubeck meets a traditional English Christmas carol. There's mostly full-ensemble playing with a brief, written trumpet solo, cued for Trombone. Drums played with brushes and optional Bells are featured. A charming addition to the holiday library. (Top Trumpet Note: G5).
