Artist Level (correlates with Book 1 p. 34) Every section gets a chance to play the melody in this skillfully adapted holiday favorite.

What a neat idea to turn this Henry Mancini classic into a medium samba groove! Your lead trombonist receives some well-deserved feature time and is joined briefly by the entire bone section. The ensemble “shout”chorus begins with an ingenious unison line played softly to start before turning things back over to the trombone solo. Nicely done!

Key: F-This holiday classic has been recorded by countless jazz artists through the years. Arranged here in a medium tempo swing style Rick's chart will sound great with limited rehearsal time.
