Styne/arr. Alan Baylock. This swinging holiday
arrangement is a slightly easier version of the
chart that Alan Baylock did for the USAF Airmen

setting with written solo space provided for each

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!

n Lo, How a Rose E'er Bloomingarr. Bob
Curnow. With a nod to the wonderful Dave Maddux
arrangement written for the vocal group First Call,
Bob Curnow has created a gorgeous version for big
band. Every jazz group needs Christmas charts to
perform, and this one is beautiful in its simplicity and
overall effect. It begins quietly in a jazz chorale style
and gradually builds to a dramatic climax followed by
a sonorous ending. There are no solos. Turn off the
house lights, put the spotlight on your band, and you
will be able to hear a pin drop when you finish this
beautiful arrangement. Very highly recommended!

n O Holy NightAdolphe Adam/arr. Paul Clark.

timeless Christmas classic! Although usually in

lower note is provided. A short improvisation section
is optional, and a suggested solo is included. In
addition to the trumpet, all sections of the band
have the melody at some point. You and your band
