Excellent for Young Jazz Ensembles
This Roger Holmes arrangement of 'It's the Holiday Season' is a fantastic addition for a young jazz ensemble. The Grade 3 difficulty is perfect for developing high school groups, offering a challenging yet achievable swing style. The score and parts from Hal Leonard are clearly engraved, which really aids student readability. It's excellent for working on ensemble rhythm and introducing classic big band figures. Highly recommended for school holiday concerts!

Fun, Festive, and Rewarding!
What a fun chart for the holidays! Roger Holmes' arrangement of Kay Thompson's 'It's the Holiday Season' really captures that classic big band sound. As an adult learner playing with a community jazz ensemble, the Grade 3 level is a rewarding challenge. It's so satisfying to hear all the parts come together in that lively medium swing. It sounds just like you'd hope for a holiday classic. Great for enjoyment and feeling festive!

Strong Ensemble Support
For a collaborative pianist, the piano part in Roger Holmes' 'It's the Holiday Season' is a great fit for a jazz ensemble. It sits well within the rhythm section, providing excellent harmonic and rhythmic support for the full band. The medium swing texture and classic tutti big band figures create a solid foundation, which would easily underpin a featured vocal soloist if one were to be added. The Grade 3 level is well-balanced for ensemble playability.
