WYNTON MARSALIS: Christmas Jazz Jam

WYNTON MARSALIS: Christmas Jazz Jam

ALBUM RELEASE:
Wynton is back with Christmas Jazz Jam, his first holiday album in 20 years. Wynton is joined by his septet for his 78th recording as they breathe new life into Christmas classics. Rooted in the spirit of New Orleans and the gospel church, these new arrangements of holiday standards are drenched with down-home soul and joyous swing. Christmas Jazz Jam brings the American art of jazz improvisation to traditional songs loved worldwide. It provides a great opportunity to discover and enjoy contemporary jazz.
