Christmas Song - solo jazz piano. I have blatantly stolen many of 7notemode's great ideas on his Tutorial videos of this same song

in this Xmas video lesson - I also did it in the 'white bread' C of Key and added a couple of alternative ideas of my own. It is good, I think, to get different perspectives on the same original material - I certainly learned a lot from Tom's simple-to-follow version. There is a clearer version (and a midi file) that can be downloaded from

The printable transcription is on my DVD - see http://www.bushgrafts.com/jazz/DVDbuy.htm

  • How have you learned to play jazz? I'm trying to learn but i lack propably lack some inmagination. And of course very nicely played!!!

  • Great playing. I have one question though, how much would you prepare beforehand for a performance like this? for example, when you play the descending chromatic dominant chords at about 1:58, did you plan that beforehand or come up with it on the spot? great playing either way of course.

  • Great arrangement and performance!

  • Quick question, why aren't you famous.

  • this is so nice, is there any chance to get this sheet? i really would like to playe this song, but i'm is still learning to play jazz and this arrengement is beatiful.

  • BRAVO!!!!! man, this is some good stuff. you talking about somebody smiling ALL the way through the chord changes, yes i was!! i spoke with you about 2 years ago, but i still get the goose bumps when i hear this!!
