A collection of six Christmas and holiday charts for small jazz groups at grade 2.5. All charts are scored in three-part writing, with flexible instrumentation provided by all three parts in each wind book. Solo sections are provided with changes, and also a mini-clinic with a break down of the spelled-out chord progression and a scale etude for each tune. Twelve transcribed solos match the recordings note-for-note, and twelve suggested solos give younger players a starting point with themes taken from the recorded solos. 54 downloadable play-along tracks provide every instrument a chance to sit in with the recorded band. Contents include: Up On the Housetop, Good King Wenceslas, Jingle Bells, Deck the Halls, The Holly and the Ivy, Auld Lang Syne.
