CHRISTMAS & HOLIDAY very easy & easy / medium-easy
You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch—Albert
Hague/arr. Mike Story. Everyone knows this
fun song from Dr. Seuss' "How the Grinch
Stole Christmas." Mike Story puts it right in
the pocket for young players with a vampy,
medium swing chart that features the familiar
melody, easy written solos and modest
ranges. Scored for full jazz ensemble, it will
also sound great with an optional reduced
instrumentation of 3 saxes, 2 trumpets, 1
trombone and 3 rhythm. Optional parts are
included for expanded instrumentation.
Highly recommended!

Holiday Selections

All I Want for Christmas Is You—Carey &
Afanasieff/arr. John Berry. Originally recorded
by Mariah Carey in 1994, this upbeat Christmas
favorite has become a holiday staple year after
year. John Berry provides a great sounding and
accessible version in a straight-ahead medium
swing style with the melody traded around
from section to section. No solos are required.
Highly recommended!

Big Band Holiday—arr. Carl Strommen.
Great popular holiday standards, an
accessible arrangement that will sound great
with a few rehearsals and a variety of styles
make this medley the ideal holiday concert
chart! There are brief, notated solos for
2nd trombone and 1st alto sax with plenty
of ensemble playing throughout. Three of
these tunes are arranged in a swing style at
different tempos and a ballad is included for
added variety. There are options for reduced
or expanded instrumentations. This winning
medley includes: I'll Be Home for Christmas;
Santa Claus is Coming to Town; Have
Yourself a Merry Little Christmas and Frosty
the Snowman. Highly recommended!

Big Noise from the North Pole—arr. Mike
Collins-Dowden. Jingle Bells meets Big Noise
from Winnetka, complete with minor key and
the drummer laying down a Krupa groove! It
swings hard from top to bottom, has no solos,
and is very clever. With limited brass ranges,
this arrangement is playable by groups of
almost any age and provides a great way to
feature a drummer. This chart will be the most
fun you have playing a Christmas tune all year!
Highly recommended!

A Charlie Brown Christmas—Vince Guaraldi/
arr. Paul Murtha. Vince Guaraldi's music
provided a level of jazz sophistication for the
popular Charlie Brown television specials, and
his holiday offerings were some of the best!
This appealing medley includes Linus and
Lucy; Skating; O Tannenbaum and Christmas
Time is Here. Highly recommended as the hit
of the season!

A Child Is Born—Thad Jones/arr. John
Denton. This wonderful jazz standard by Thad
Jones moves smoothly through a few styles -
first as a ballad, then as a moderate jazz waltz,
then as a bossa in four, and back to the jazz
waltz feel - all the while keeping the beauty and
integrity of the original. Written or ad lib solos
are for alto sax and trumpet. Gorgeous chord
voicings and tasty contrapuntal lines support
this beautiful tune in a very tasteful way!

A Chili Pepper Christmas—arr. Doug Beach &
George Shutack. Though it took some time and
effort to convince the famous "Chili Pepper" to
tackle the concept of holiday music, it's finally
a reality! Featuring three great classics, I Saw
Three Ships, Angels We Have Heard on High,
and Jingle Bells, this samba style medley at
the medium level is a joyous celebration of the
holidays. While improvisation is encouraged,
sheets with written solo lines for both open
sections are included. Highly recommended!

A Christmas Mambo—arr. Tim Waters. This
cool mambo version of the Christmas classic
We Three Kings will add some heat and a
nice change of style to your next holiday
concert! This chart opens with an infectious
mambo groove that keeps building before
the melody is passed from the saxes to the
trombones to the trumpet section. The solo
section includes written or ad-lib solos for alto
sax, tenor sax, trumpet, or trombone. There's
a cool shout chorus before returning to the
opening theme. The lead trumpet plays to A
below high C.
