I’ve been accused of writing off kilter music, but when it comes to holiday arrangements I’ve kept things pretty “normal.” There’s snow outside my window so I assembled some of these arrangements for aural entertainment. I’ll start with showcasing the vocal talents of Darrell Dodge, who did a bang up job on this arrangement of “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.”

With the exception of practicing over 6 months for a college Incubus band reunion (plus big band ensemble) many moons ago, I really haven’t touched my horn since 1978. However, I did pull out the flugelhorn in 2013 and managed (after many takes) to do this short arrangement of “Let it Snow.”

Here’s a trio arrangement of “Blue Christmas” from 2016.

I got my big band on for this instrumental arrangement of “White Christmas.”

And finally, for those who are thinking I’m pretty “normal”, there’s this piano interpretation of “We Wish You a Merry Christmas.”
