From the king of swing, Sammy Nestico brings his inimitable symphonic jazz style to the concert stage. Originally written for the Boston Pops Orchestra, Sammy has re-worked this marvelous holiday setting for winds, featuring the classic carol Good King Wenceslas in a variety of jazz-flavored styles. The horn solos are cued and the piano part is optional. Sure to be a holiday favorite for years to come.
