Mack Avenue

Pianisten Christian Sands bjuder in till en bluesigt jazzig jul, med alla klassiker - så som "Let It Snow! Let It Snow!", "Silent Night" och "Jingle Bells". Med gästsolister som vibrafonisten Stefon Harris, Jimmy Greene, sax, och gitarristerna Max Light och Marvin Sewell.

There's no shortage of Christmas music out there that can evoke the holiday spirit. But it takes a master of groove and swing like Warren Wolf to conjure a true feeling of Christmas Vibes. On his new album, the vibraphone great and father of five offers an album of jazzy Yuletide cheer sure to provide the ideal soundtrack to the season for the hippest families on the block. Wolf takes an even more prominent role than usual on Christmas Vibes, playing all the piano and keyboard parts as well as spotlighting his usual virtuosity on the vibes. In part, it was the outcome of necessity: the album was recorded in mid-March, just as much of the country was beginning to shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic, necessitating some last-minute changes of plan. But it also gave the leader a long-overdue opportunity to showcase his multifarious talents.
