Description:
Bring a fresh, irresistible groove to your holiday repertoire! In Gordon Goodwin's ingenious and inventive slow-funk setting of the world-famous classic 'The Little Drummer Boy,' festive spirit blends seamlessly with modern rhythms to create a true concert highlight. The arrangement surprises right from the start: the iconic melody is introduced in a deep, velvety, and wonderfully laid-back fashion by the bass trombone and baritone saxophone, before the entire big band gradually builds into a dynamic musical powerhouse. Featuring Goodwin's trademark sophisticated voicings, punchy horn lines, and infectious energy, this piece is pure fun to play. Published by Belwin Music, this complete set includes the full score and all individual parts. A brilliantly cool arrangement that is a must-have for any ambitious big band this holiday season!
