Welcome to the ejazzlines 2025 Holiday Arrangements Newsletter!
We know quite well how the classics are essential to the holiday season. The festive music is all around us in December: at home and at work, in the car and on store playlists, all over movies and TV--it is a big part of our soundtrack. We are proud to offer bands a selection that is second to none. In addition to the holiday classics we publish, we also offer the PDF catalogs of Hal Leonard, Alfred, Kendor, and Doug Beach Music that have many wonderful choices. Please see below for options ranging from the newly released to the tried and true, from all areas of the holiday canon.

Our Newest Holiday Charts
We try hard to continue to add options to the our selection of jazz-related holiday arrangements, and we again have some new ones to offer from this past year.
Phil Norman Tentet/Bob Florence: Snowfall
Two more to mention: We published Ella Fitzgerald's Sleigh Ride a little over a year ago. It has reached a new level of popularity thanks to its inclusion in the holiday movie classic Elf.
And while it is two years old, our friend Rick Hirsch may have penned a new classic with his Rudolph's Mambo. Spice up your holiday concert by conjuring Spanish Harlem’s original mambo kings Tito Puente, Mario Bauzá, and Machito on this holiday favorite.

The Nutcracker Suite
We have four very different and very interesting takes on what may be the most popular Christmas music of all time:
Tom Kubis Holiday Arrangements
Rich DeRosa Holiday Arrangements
We also have a great bunch of holiday charts from Rich; please see the set below; all are also available individually as is his very cool medley, Deck the Halls with Jingle Bells. His Joy to the World chart as written for the WDR Big Band is a standout.
Gordon Goodwin Holiday Arrangements
Gordon's are so good & so popular they deserve a section of their own!
Hanukkah Music
