Here We Go A-Groovin'—arr. Steve Parsons.
Designed for early jazz bands, this winter concert
selection introduces Latin jazz stylings through a
familiar Christmas carol. Shifting between major
and minor with the use of accidentals reinforces
harmonic awareness, while syncopation in the
melody supports rhythmic growth. Fully notated
rhythm section grooves guide developing players
and help ensembles achieve stylistic consistency.

Hot Chocolate (from "The Polar Express")—
Glen Ballard & Alan Silvestri/arr. Mike Lewis. A
fun swinger in a jump style, Hot Chocolate is hot
stuff! It's loaded with energy and has been skillfully
adapted for the young player. There are no solos,
the ranges are modest, and a driving bass line
makes it move along. To make this chart flexible
for all year, the arranger offers two endings: one
with a clever and effective modulation to a Jingle
Bells quote and one without. Highly recommended!

Jingle Bells Ragtime March—arr. Tim Waters.
This ragtime treatment of Jingle Bells is a great
option for groups adding a last-minute tune to their
holiday concert. With a laid-back Dixieland groove,
this tune is easy to work up in a hurry. There are
no solos in this chart, but all the sections get a turn
playing the melody.

Joy to the World—arr. Drew Zaremba. An
easy jazz chart that brings a familiar Christmas
carol into a relaxed cumbia style, fitting naturally
into any holiday concert. The steady tempo
and shared melodic lines promote ensemble
balance, while written solo spots for alto sax,
trumpet, and trombone introduce trading fours in
a guided setting. A practical choice for seasonal
programming that helps young jazz students
develop ensemble interaction within soloing and
full-band moments.

A Little Christmas Spirit—Doug Beach &
George Shutack. A great bossa groove with
highly accessible writing of the popular Christmas
favorites God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen; O
Christmas Tree and Jingle Bells. Solos for alto
sax, trumpet, and drum set. Playable with two
trumpets and two trombones. A hit!

Merry Christmas and All That Jazz—arr. Michael
Story. Here's an easy-to-play jazz waltz chart
that's a medley of two familiar holiday songs,
The Holly and the Ivy and We Wish You a Merry
Christmas. The tempo is around 128 bpm, the
trumpet 1 range is written F top line, there are no
individual solos, and there are lots of optional parts
for expanded instrumentation. Also playable with
optional reduced instrumentation, it's the perfect
holiday chart to showcase your young jazz band.
A great way to wish your holiday audiences a
merry Christmas!

Merry Gentlemen—arr. Greg Nielsen. A holiday
swing chart on this classic, performed around
130 bpm, with suggested solos written for alto 1,
trumpet 1, tenor 1, and trombone 1. Easy brass
ranges with a shout chorus that modulates to
A-flat with a clever glissando for trombones into
the new key. Nice chart for the holidays. (3:40)

My Favorite Things (from "The Sound of Music")
—Richard Rodgers/arr. Paul Murtha. Equally at
home on holiday concerts or any performance, this
popular tune from "The Sound of Music" is arranged
here as a jazz waltz. It features a relaxed, easy-
flowing swing style, a melody that is passed from
section to section, and short written or ad lib solos
for trumpet and tenor sax. Optional reduced or
expanded instrumentation. Highly recommended!

Nutcracker Swing—arr. Michael Story. This is your
swingin' holiday chart! The familiar heralding
brass opening transitions into an easy swing
feel with clear articulation throughout. With easy
rhythms and written solos for alto, trumpet and
trombone, this is an ideal holiday concert chart
for younger players. This chart is a best buy!
Highly recommended! Optional reduced or
expanded instrumentation.

O, Christmas Tree—arr. Rick Stitzel. Classic swing
style takes the spotlight in this easy jazz band
setting of the holiday favorite. Mostly unison rhythms
make the chart quick to teach while reinforcing an
authentic swing feel. The melody is shared across
the ensemble, with a written solo or soli for all
saxes, plus optional flute and vibes adding color
and flexibility for your winter programming.

Oh Chanukah—arr. Rick Hirsch. Here's something
unique and clever for holiday concerts! This very
catchy treatment of the traditional Hanukkah song
is all done up here with a Bo Diddley groove. Very
accessible to young jazz bands, with brief written
solo statements for just about every instrument for
flexibility. The trumpet 1 range is only to written
E-flat top space, and there are options for reduced
or expanded instrumentations. A very clever chart
that's highly recommended!
