Jazz up your Christmas concert with this swinging setting of “We Three Kings” - blues style! A bluesy vamp in 5/4 gets the piece started, and then layers of ‘fills’, ‘licks’, and ‘bass lines’ are added before the melody enters. Fun and challenging with a variety of techniques and rhythmic intricacies to keep all ringer engaged!
