Who knew Jolly Old St. Nick was a jazzy cat? Swingin' rhythms, scat syllables, and ""instrumental"" new lyrics abound in the hip partner song "Jazzy Saint Nick" arranged by Russell Robinson. Equally accessible and educational. Oh my goodness, Santa, is 'zat really you knockin'? Audiences won't believe the fabulous rhythms and rhymes in this killer arrangement of "'Zat You, Santa Claus?"! A jazzy tune recorded by the likes of Louis Armstrong, Garth Brooks, and Harry Connick, Jr. Talk about change of pace! "It Came Upon a Midnight Clear, ""The Coventry Carol,"" and ""Angels We have Heard on High"" like you have never heard them before. This brief holiday medley delights with its jazzy harmonies and swingy waltz tempos that break only once in the balladic middle. It's here that Donald Moore weaves in two additional Christmas themes.

Songlist: Three Jazz Carols, Jazzy Old Saint Nick, I'll Be Home for Christmas, A Swingin' Christmas, 'Zat You, Santa Claus?

Here's some jazzy takes on old holiday favorites. "Jazzy Old St. Nick" has surprise pauses and clever orchestration and make this the perfect novelty or concert closer. Who's that up there in the sky, singin' and swingin' as he flies by? Why it's Beboppin' Santa Claus, of course! This jazz original is perfect for show and jazz groups and makes a great opener for your holiday programs. Even your youngest singers will dig this jazzy Jingle Bells! With lots of unison and easy call-and-response vocal parts, this arrangement will practically sing itself.
