This absolute Christmas classic is interpreted here in swing style by three to five players. The bass part can be played in an easy or more challenging version. The key element is the alternation between swing and straight eighth notes. The tempo can be flexibly adjusted to the players' skill level. The bass part can also be played on an A marimba.
