This jump swing version of Hark the Herald Angels Sing will definitely get the toes of listeners tapping. Part 5 introduces the style, by playing a bass line a la Sing, Sing, Sing. Each instrument enters with the same riff that was introduced at the beginning of the piece. Chords are provided during solos, so these can either be improvised, or played as written. At measure 57, the piece moves into a call and response section between players. In this section, the dynamics of the parts should be well balanced.
