I have spent some time already looking for some on just Google and YouTube, but I haven't had much luck finding this specific combo of jazzy and early intermediate. So, I was hoping for some recommendations! To give you an idea where I am at, I am currently working on Sometimes When It Rains arranged by Bennedsen ( ) and Nocturne in Em by Hellbach ( ) and Arabesque. Thanks!

The songs were by Vince Guaraldi including "O Christmas Tree", "Chestnut Song", "Christmas Time is Here", "Linus & Lucy". There is a version for easy piano and one at an advance level.

I will check it out, but my memory tells me that's still too hard.

I will check it out, but my memory tells me that's still too hard. There is the regular edition and the "Easy Piano" edition. I tried some of the songs from the easy edition: "Hark the Harald Angel Sings", "Skating", "Chestnut song" & "Christmas Time is Here". Playable. Other songs like "Linus & Lucy" from the easy edition is a shortened version. "O Christmasmas Tree" has top & bottom section. Top section is doable. Bottom section is Jazzier and a bit more challenging.
