Review:
Spice up your Christmas repertoire with this clever and appealing jazz arrangement. It begins “mysteriously” in a slow fashion but the swing rhythm enters at a quick tempo and continues throughout with its repetitions making the learning process easy. There are delightful descant-like patterns added here and there. The piece begins in D major but moves to F, with many accidentals in both sections, making it a level four choice. 168 measures.
