H A Child Is Born—Thad Jones/arr. John Denton.

ballad, then as a moderate jazz waltz, then as a
bossa in four, and back to the jazz waltz feel -
all the while keeping the beauty and integrity of
the original. Written or ad lib solos are for alto sax
and trumpet. Gorgeous chord voicings and tasty
contrapuntal lines support this beautiful tune in a
very tasteful way!
