Featuring fresh, soul/gospel-tinged versions of Christmas classics alongside seldom-heard wintertime songs, this new CD reunites legendary JB Horns members Pee Wee Ellis with Fred Wesley, also adding amazing guest vocalists like Lillian Boutté, Clare Tea, Lisa Bassenge, and more! After serving for many years as bandleader for James Brown, Pee Wee Ellis went on to work with Van Morrison, leading Van’s band for five years and six albums before his jazz-funk roots began calling again. The ’80s generation of hip-hop and acid jazz devotees wanted to hear it from the source, so while leading his own jazz outfits Ellis got back together with former James Brown horns Maceo Parker and Fred Wesley as the JB Horns, a stunning live jazz funk act that toured the world. For Minor Music Pee Wee Ellis has recorded six albums as leader … the only thing missing was a special project celebrating the Christmas spirit! Full press mailing to key press and NPR reviewers. Confirmed review in December issue of DownBeat.

Track Listing: Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas • Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer • Last Christmas • Christmas in New Orleans • Christmas Time is Here • In the Upper Room • In the Bleak Midwinter • Ezekiel Saw the Wheel • White Christmas • Snowfall • Silent Night • What Are You Doing New Year’s Eve? • The Christmas Song

The Spirit of Christmas

“Putting the stuff that powered the JBs on the Christmas classics, you can’t find yourself wanting for anything. The most jazzy, soulful Christmas you could hope for, the playing, the vocals, the arranging — it’s all so together it almost hurts. These are my kind of holiday sounds. Killer stuff throughout and always on the money.” — Midwest Record

John Gardner

Cantata for Christmas The astonishingly prolific John Gardner has yet to receive his due rewards, and still remains one of the most original and intriguing figures in English 20th-century music. The Cantata for Christmas, scored for double choir and small orchestra, receives its world premiere recording here. It opens similarly to Honegger’s Christmas Cantata, written about 14 years earlier, and uses the German Advent chorale “Wie schon leuchtet.” The texts used include “Ode on the birth of our Saviour” by Robert Herrick, which is followed by “Les anges dans nos campagnes” set in the original French. The album also includes eight Christmas carols, some using the traditional melodies, like “Good King Wenceslas.”
