Jingle Blues

Arranged by Ryan Fraley
Grade: 2.5

While many get excited at the holidays, some people just can’t turn that frown upside down. In this “spirit” comes a fun swing arrangement of Jingle Bells, written in a blues style. Your students will enjoy the laid back swing figures and the catchy melodic adaptations depicting the “fun (maybe just a little??) it is to ride on a one-horse open sleigh.” A ‘downer’ ending takes the blues to a whole new level – sure to be the highlight (and lowlight!) of your next winter program!
