Jazz Waltz of the Sugar Plum Fairy (Jazz
Ensemble Version)—arr. Pinkzebra.
Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy is reimagined
as a swinging jazz waltz, with cool vibes
and smart attitude. Includes additional
instrument parts for flute, clarinet, French
horn, and tuba. A free jazz solo practice
track is available for this arrangement and
features the full band heard in the demo
recording during the solo section minus the

version is in a different key and cannot be
combined with the choral version.

must-have for any holiday performance or

other hidden gems in Jingle Freakin' Bells.

Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!—
Jule Styne/arr. Gordon Goodwin. In the style
of Basie and Hefti, this Gordon Goodwin
adaptation of the wonderful holiday classic
is set in a medium swing style. Not a drum
showcase, but the drummer has plenty of
solo space beginning on brushes, then to
sticks as the intensity rises. There is a flute
part on second alto (can be omitted) and a
percussion part for vibes. The optional solo
space is for alto, tenor, trumpet, trombone,
and the lead trumpet range is to written
high E. A great sax section soli rounds out
this excellent chart. This one is so nice,
you'll want to play it year 'round! Highly
recommended!
