[Dixielandjazz] Christmas Music

[Steve Heist]

Hi all,

If some of you band leaders want an incredible tune to "convert" to jazz - 
try Leroy Anderson's "Sleigh Ride" with all the sound effects!!  THAT would 
keep you busy and no vanilla chords with all the key changes!
(if you listen to the original, you'll hear one stanza that REALLY swings, 
thanks to the tuba section)

ALL the Best,
Steve Heist
