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.

Jazzin' Merry Gentlemen—arr. Larry Neeck.

swinging version of God Rest Ye Merry,
