Christmas and holiday charts for small
jazz groups arranged in various styles. At

recorded solos. The 49 downloadable
play-along tracks provide every instrument
an opportunity to sit in with the recorded
band. Not only does this collection provide
outstanding performance repertoire for
small jazz groups, it is a wonderful teaching
tool for playing jazz and creating solos!

Wenceslas; The Holly and the Ivy; Jingle
