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. 11678879 Jazz Ensemble. . . . . . . . . . . E 50.00 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! 2702800 Jazz Ensemble. . . . . . . . . . . E 42.00 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. 11624024 Jazz Ensemble. . . . . . . . . . . E 55.00 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. 11678881 Jazz Ensemble. . . . . . . . . . . E 45.00 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! 11503717 Jazz Ensemble. . . . . . . . . . . E 45.00 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! 10997190 Jazz Ensemble. . . . . . . . . . . E 44.00 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) 11619656 Jazz Ensemble. . . . . . . . . . . E 47.00 My Favorite Things (from "The Sound of Music") —Richard Rodgers/arr. Paul Murtha.

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! 10072787 Jazz Ensemble. . . . . . . . . . . E 45.00 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.

Optional reduced or expanded instrumentation. 10071878 Jazz Ensemble. . . . . . . . . . . E 47.00 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. 11678475 Jazz Ensemble. . . . . . . . . . .
