This collection features 6 traditional Christmas carols that have been completely transformed into a variety of exciting jazz/blues/swing pieces by Eric Baumgartner. It is not essential for the performer to have previous jazz experience, and no sections require improvisation. However, even experienced "jazzers" and professional musicians will find this collection accessible and very playable. The pieces are excellent additions to any repertoire. Comes complete with CD orchestrations by the composer. Highly recommended! Songlist: Deck the Hall * God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen * O Christmas Tree * The Coventry Carol * Good King Wenceslas * Jingle Bells.
