I was exploring the archives of an old hard drive when I found this arrangement I had made for the now-defunct Mountainside Jazz Orchestra, a college-era project of my friends and me. I think we played it exactly once for a company Christmas party and I recall it not going very well…
I cleaned up the arrangement (poor engraving surely didn’t help with accurate reading the first time) and swapped out the Double Bass part with a Bari Sax, which I think is more in the spirit of the original, acapella vibe of the Pentatonix (2015) version.
