Rich DeRosa once again provides us with his clever take on one of the most popular Christmas carols, "Joy to the World." As arranged for the WDR Big Band, DeRosa sets this traditional tune in a zydeco feel and provides an entertaining journey from beginning to end. Focusing entirely on the ensemble, there is no improvisation in this piece. Rather, DeRosa builds and builds the ensemble through creative rhythms, harmonies, key changes, and grooves. This will be an absolute crowd favourite!
