David Ian's delightful performances transport you to an era that birthed the most sentimental songs of this season. The opener, \"Deck the Halls\" welcomes in the Christmas spirit with a swinging trio. David Ian's signature sound shines throughout the album as he transforms the often stately \"Joy to the World\" into a jazz\/blues injected festivity and then carries the listener into a dreamier state with the ever-loved classic \"White Christmas.\" The lyrical bass solos of Jon Estes tastefully splash their way on numerous tracks supported by the clever drumwork of Josh Hunt, who together comprise a perfectly ornamental rhythm section. \"We Three Kings\" takes on a new form with a reflective mood; an unexpected arrangement of a Christmas classic, more forgotten in recent years. In \"Silver Bells,\" Ian masterfully and fluidly switches back and forth from swing to straight time. The close of the album is a solemn \"O Come, All Ye Faithful,\" stripped down to just piano and percussion. If you listen closely, your ears might catch the chirps of a winter bird complementing this moving musical performance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Deck the Halls 6:56 \u003cbr\u003e1.2 It Came Upon a Midnight Clear 4:00 \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Joy to the World 2:08 \u003cbr\u003e1.4 White Christmas 3:00 \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Good King Wenceslas 4:00 \u003cbr\u003e1.6 I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day 3:00 \u003cbr\u003e1.7 We Three Kings 6:17 \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Up on the Housetop 3:00 \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Silver Bells 3:00 \u003cbr\u003e1.10 Adeste Fideles (O Come All Ye Faithful) 4:12\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAudio Sample:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n                                           \u003ci\u003eAll soundclips are provided by Tidal and are for illustrative purposes only.
