Jingle Bell Boogie—arr. Bryan Kidd. This
screamin' arrangement features a blending of
an 8-to-the-bar boogie woogie and Rumba in
a classic big band setting. The saxes take the
melody with some gritty plunger work in the
brass to really give this chart some character.
A hot tenor sax solo is followed by a swinging
shout chorus that is sure to bring down the
house! The showtime-style ending makes this
the perfect chart to close your holiday concert.
This one is hot!

O Holy Night—Adolphe Adam/arr. Paul Clark.
Feature your flugelhorn or trumpet soloist on
this timeless Christmas classic! Although usually
in 6/8 or 12/8, this beautiful tune works great in
4/4, making it much easier to prepare. The solo
trumpet part only has one G above the staff,
and an optional 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 will love the reaction
you'll get from the audience at your holiday
concert with this truly gorgeous arrangement.
Beautifully done!

easy to work up in a short amount of time. There's
also a nice and short brass chorale section to
give a little contrast to the swingin' ensemble feel.
Additional highlights include a written or ad lib
solo for alto sax, a modulation up, and plenty of
solo fills to keep the drummer happy. It's joyful,
it's festive, and a real crowd pleaser!

solo. A nice shout chorus and an optional
