Title: Jazzy Song #3 - Christmas Time Is Here
Post by: DaNatiMaestro on December 31, 2007, 10:04:33 AM

I know that the holiday season is over but I thought I'd post this solo jazz piece by Vince Guiraldi called Christmas Time Is Here.

It is a great tune to learn and try to understand the rich harmonies that are being played.

I will create a lead sheet for this but in the meanwhile... take a listen!!

I've actually taken some of these changes and harmonies from this song and applied it my arrangement of Lord I Lift Your Name On High.

Oh yeah this is my playing (or interpretation) of the classic... I tried to stay true to the original form and structure of the song!
