Description: Swing - Easy

Publisher: C.L. Barnhouse

Good King Swings A Lot is a fresh new twist on the classic carol Good King Wenceslas for the Jazz Starters series. Not only a great way to start teaching swing style, but the four-bar solo section over easy changes provides a wonderful opportunity for students to start improvising. Playable with limited jazz ensemble instrumentation, and also includes parts for non-traditional jazz instruments to join in the fun. Swing in the holidays!

Playable with reduced instrumentation. Suggested solos and optional parts also included. (See sample page for details).
