Info zu Big Band Holidays III

In celebration of the most wonderful time of the year, Blue Engine Records is proud to present the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis’ third collection of holiday music: Big Band Holidays III. The eight-song album features music recorded during Jazz at Lincoln Center’s beloved annual extravaganza over the past decade and spotlights guest vocalists including Catherine Russell, Denzal Sinclaire, Vuyo Sotashe, and more.

Released in two batches, with the first four songs out December 8th and the last four out December 15th, the album includes holiday classics like “This Christmas,” “Caroling, Caroling,” and “Go Tell It on the Mountain” reimagined for America’s premier big band. Big Band Holidays III is the perfect complement for your holiday playlists and an ideal soundtrack for spending time with loved ones while you make the yuletide swing.

Big Band Holidays concerts have been a New York City tradition among jazz lovers and families for more than a decade. Every December, the critically acclaimed Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis and an all-star roster of guest vocalists explore the canon of holiday standards and perform both new and traditional arrangements of Yuletide favorites. Blue Engine Records has assembled highlights from these historical performances to make them available for digital streaming.

Producer and arranger Marcus Printup says, “The holidays are a time when all generations come together, and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra’s annual Big Band Holidays represents that unity and community.” Reflecting on “Christmas Time Is Here,” he says, “I remember watching A Charlie Brown Christmas as a child and always loving this song. It has a somber, yet optimistic feeling which I tried to portray in this arrangement. The unison cup muted trumpet melody represents the choir singing on the original recording by Vince Guaraldi in 1965. Victor Goines takes a masterful and virtuosic solo on the clarinet, followed by a deeply soulful and introspective trombone solo by Vincent Gardner. I added an interlude (before the outgoing bridge and melody are restated) that represents optimism and hope.”
