The Little Drummer Boy
Introducing a slow, funky version of “Little Drummer Boy” that’s very clever with the initial melody line played by bass trombone and bari sax. The tempo is 110 BPM, the chart has a soprano sax lead, and solo space for all saxes, trumpet 4, and trombones 1 and 2. The lead trumpet range is up to high A-flat. A very cool Gordon Goodwin chart!
