Arranged by Steve Parsons
The talented arranger Steve Parsons has paired an original melody with a funky Motown version of Jingle Bells to create the piece he calls Sleighin' It. This is definitely a fresh take on this carol and your band will have a terrific time with the Motown groove and all the clever ways Steve has incorporated the simple Jingle Bells melody.

Recalling the modal tunes of Herbie Hancock like Maiden Voyage, Modal Citizen starts with a trio of Alto Sax, Trumpet and Guitar presenting the first statement of the melody.
