Jolly
jing-a-ling-a's provide
hip transitions and
bright bookends in this
jazzed-up version of the
great Christmas standard.
Kirby's arrangement fits
the tune like a glove,
and will last in your
library year after year.
Eight bars in the middle
may be repeated as many
times as desired, and
opened up to include
vocal and/or instrumental
soloists, improvisation,
scat singing, gradual
stacking of written
lines, etc. Just be sure
to save a little
something for the shout
chorus that follows!
SoundPax includes four
horn parts, but easily
adapts for rhythm section
alone.
