The traditional Irish carol fits nicely over a Partido Alto Latin feel. The two-measure ostinato dances under a legato melody played by five saxes and a flugelhorn. Solo transcriptions for flugel and alto sax are drawn from the demo recording. Carefully-notated rhythm section parts spool down to a winsome last chord for piano and guitar. This is not just a charming and playable holiday chart. It's also a great entry point to an important South American style! Top trumpet note: F5.
