I've always loved Vince Guaraldi's version that was featured in Charlie Browns Christmas cartoon. This one has 5 banjos and I used a Keyboard cleaning brush, on the banjo head, to get the brushed sounds from the original recording,haha. Add a bass banjo track with the tuning dropped 3 whole steps and you get a pretty nice sounding bass string,haha. This was a fun project . Heres my banjo take on the Christmas favorite.

It is Tom Slavicek. He is a Czech banjo player living in Montreal, Canada. He came to Canada in 1981 and was my teacher for about a year. To me, this guy is the great unkown treasure of banjo. This is a recording of Donna Lee written by the great Charlie Parker. Tom plays bluegrass but now is working exclusively on jazz. This is played on a 6 string banjo that he made. I have his old five string which I play and treasure. I&#39ll post some more of him in the near future. Please let me know what you think. THANKS This is not me! It is Tom Slavicek.
