This sounds like the Brent E version that I abandoned a year or 2 ago as being slightly beyond my reach. That is, can do it but takes a long time to bring up to tempo. Regardless, you made it so fun; played it right up tempo, straight away, come what may in terms of embellishments. So fun and so well handled. Entertaining. Admirable keyboard work. You laid one down here.
This one reminded me of what I tried to do with my arrangement of Santa Claus Is Coming To Town. I love how Jingle Bells suits the blues style so well, and all those riffs are fun ideas. This one is a tough arrangement to play. Brent Edstrom had mentioned that he was lucky Hal Leonard didn't limit him in terms of having to write within a certain playing level. I'm glad too, because then he can go to town!
Lovely jazzy Christmas cover. Merry Christmas to you!!!
Merry Christmas Ed! I wish you a healthy, happy, and prosperous 2025!!

@@elenafortinmusic I will take it up again in due course.
@@DavidMiller-bp7et It's worthwhile to study! One of the most interesting arrangements of "Jingle Bells" that I have come across.
