Info for Vintage Christmas Wonderland

Who's ready to get in the Christmas spirit? After one listen to David Ian's Vintage Christmas Wonderland, you'll surely be humming to these tunes all through the holiday season. As the follow up to his highly acclaimed 2011 release Vintage Christmas, Ian's new EP of even more jazzy classic holiday tunes continues to bring fresh, swinging arrangements. Yet again he captures a vintage sound, one that harks back to classic jazz and Christmas LP's of the 1950's.

'After overwhelming enthusiasm that came from my debut album Vintage Christmas, I felt energized to explore more Christmas music,' David Ian explains. 'Songs I've chosen for the new EP include two instrumentals: a mellow and swinging rendition of 'O Little Town Of Bethlehem' and 'The First Noel,' featuring a melodic bass solo by Jon Estes. The familiar sound of the vocalists stay true to the Vintage Christmas brand in 'Angels We Have Heard on High' and 'Winter Wonderland,' with a slight departure in 'Jingle Bells.''

'Jingle Bells,' the EP's final track, is confidentally led by Andre Miguel Mayo and decorated by the classic and energetic harmonies of Tal and Acacia who also appeared on Vintage Christmas. Each song easily captures the spirit of the season with an intimate sound that's warm and inviting.

It goes without saying that Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas without all of the trimmings: a fresh-cut tree, twinkling lights adorning eaves and windows, strategically placed mistletoe, a turkey in the oven and eggnog in the fridge. But it just doesn’t feel like the holidays until you’ve got those familiar Christmas tunes spreading good cheer from your speakers. So deck the halls with boughs and holly. Roast some chestnuts by the fire. Walk in a winter wonderland. Be merry and bright. Be joyful and triumphant. And don’t forget to include David Ian's Vintage Christmas Wonderland in your music rotation.
