One moment…

This screamin' arrangement features a blending of an eight-to-the-bar boogie woogie and Rumba in a classic big band setting. The saxes take the melody with some gritty plunger work in the brass to really give this chart some character. A hot tenor sax solo is followed by a swingin' shout chorus that is sure to bring down the house! The showtime-style ending makes this the perfect chart to close your holiday concert. This one is hot!

More about this title

Why we love this

Kidd nails the balance between holiday familiarity and genuine swing, so your students get to play something recognizable without sacrificing any jazz language or energy. The plunger brass work and tenor sax spotlight give younger ensembles a chance to explore texture and soloing in a fun, high-octane context. That showtime ending does exactly what you need it to do: it lands like a statement.

What to expect

Part New Orleans saunter, part big band showstopper. There's a swagger in the boogie woogie foundation that lets the Rumba elements sit comfortably on top, and the whole thing moves with the kind of infectious momentum that pulls an audience in. When that tenor takes the solo and the brass answers back with plunger pops, you feel the band having genuine fun together.

Who it's for

Developing jazz ensembles with strong section fundamentals and at least one capable tenor sax soloist. The Grade 2.5 level makes it accessible to high school programs still building chops while remaining genuinely fun for more advanced groups looking for a reliable closer.

How to get the most out of it

Work the boogie woogie bass figure with your rhythm section first; that eight-to-the-bar pulse is the backbone, and locking it in early makes everything else groove harder.
Coach the tenor soloist to find the grit and personality in their lines rather than playing it safe; this chart rewards confidence and attitude.
Bring out the plunger brass as a character voice, not an effect. Have those players practice their mute technique so the articulation is crisp and deliberate.
The shout chorus needs collective energy and precise unison; rehearse the entire ensemble section separate from soloists to nail the rhythmic punch.

How to use it

Save this for the finale of your winter or holiday concert. Its built-in excitement and clear narrative arc (statement, exploration, shout-chorus payoff) make it the kind of closer that sends the audience out happy. It also works perfectly as a pop tune in spring pops programs or end-of-year celebration concerts where you want something celebratory but rooted in real jazz vocabulary.
