If you click on the picture below it will give you a play list. From there you can listen to the charts that were used in the 2009 show. It scrolls through the album covers pretty quick.
All I Want For Christmas Is You
This was my very first sequence.
A Mad Russian's Christmas (Instrumental)
I did a little editing on this chart to shorten it.
Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow
Great jazzy chart from Harry. Has a really kicking middle section with great horn licks.
Stille Nacht (Silent Night)
I have "Linus" from the "Peanuts - A Charlie Brown Christmas" reading the Christmas Story over the top of this song. Thanks to Darren from www.ChristmasOnCrystalSprings.com for the idea and audio.
Blue Christmas
This is a GREAT chart. Has become a true favorite of mine.
Jingle Bells
Wanted to have a "Cute" chart for the kids....or the "kids" within us ;-)
Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer
Another cute piece that I added at the last minute.
Sleigh Ride
This is one of my show openers. The selection I have is actually from a 8 cd set called "151 Seasonal Favorites". Has A BUNCH of the classics on there. This version of Sleigh Ride is actually a little shorter than the original, but is fine for one of the openers. I have a voice greeting on this as well.
Jingle Bells (Pierpont)
Aaahh the "Swing Era". Man I love this music. Just wish I had time to sequence the whole thing. Not sure if some people would appreciate it though. LOTS of "ad lib" stuff and for some folks it would be "Chrismtasy" enough....so I used it for a opener with a voice greeting. Still good stuff though!
"O Holy Night" by Trombone Shorty
This is off a TV show called "Studio 60". Show was a take off of a "Saturday Night Live" type of format. Kind of a behind the scenes show with all of the drama along with it.
I am not sure how much of this chart I will be using yet (10/7/09). I think I am going to use this as some back ground music as I tell a little bit about the show (at the beginning). Also use it at the end of the show with some parting comments.
(YouTube pulled the video with the actual TV footage. Here is at least the audio off of a Vimeo clip.)
