As recorded by New York Voices in 2013 (“Let It Snow” – 2013, Five Cent Records) – this is an old holiday favorite, which NYV has been performing for many years.  This chart places the traditional English carol in a “Count Basie-esque” setting, with a laid back, medium swing feel.  Classic 4-way close writing abounds, and there is plenty of space for both scat and instrumental solos.
