Wynton says, "Jingle Bells adds more holiday fun. The saxophones are the hooves of reindeer and the woodblock Ben Riley plays captures the clip clop of hooves as well. I had the trumpet and the trombone muted because I was looking for a bell-like quality. They come un-muted when it says 'Oh, what fun it is to ride,' and an open sound sets up the entrance of the trombone shouting the title of the tune."
