Christmas Jazz for Clarinet Volume 1 consists of five festive arrangements including smoochy ballads (Silent Night, and The First Nowell (Noel) but also tunes with serious groove factor (God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen is one), plus I Saw Three Ships (complete with sleigh bells), and Hark The Herald (in 5/4 time).
A piano accompaniment part is also included to give more flexibility/options. As well as featuring the original tune, each piece has an original flute solo/s which adds a touch of uniqueness to these timeless festive favourites.
The pieces are not too advanced, and players of intermediate ability (grade 5-6) should be able to play all without any difficulty. Some, (The First Nowell, and Silent Night for instance) are even more accessible; around grade 3-4. Christmas Jazz Collection is also available in Eb (Alto/Baritone) Sax and Piano, Bb Clarinet, and Bb Saxophone editions, as well as printed editions with CD option (instead of audio downloads).
