*Sound On* 😊 Today’s spotlight song from Big Band Holidays III is one of my all time favorites, CHRISTMAS TIME IS HERE. I remember watching “A Charlie Brown Christmas” as a child and always loving this song. It has a somber, yet optimistic feeling which I tried to portray in this arrangement. The unison cup muted trumpet melody represents the choir singing on the original recording by Vince Guaraldi in 1965. @goines_v takes a masterful solo on the clarinet, followed by a deeply soulful trombone solo by @muttbone. I added an interlude (before the outgoing bridge and melody are restated) that represents optimism and hope because I always felt bad when everyone made fun of the puny tree that Charlie Brown chose. This interlude grows in volume and climaxes at the bridge, and eventually subsides peacefully to the end of the tune. “Big Band Holidays III” now avail on all streaming platforms. link in bio / https://orcd.co/bbh3 #bigbandholidays3 #christmastimeishere #bigbandjazz #jazzatlincolncenterorchestra #wyntonmarsalis
