Inspired by his sister's tradition of gathering with friends to make hand-crafted Christmas presents, the New York trumpeter, in the same spirit, created this recording as a gift to his parents. Properly unassuming and sweetly swinging, his quartet covers the familiar hymns and songs of the season, and is joined by vocalist Kevin-Anthony for season-perfect renditions of \"The Christmas Song,\" and \"I'll Be Home For Christmas.\" Eklund's original, \"Two as One,\" written for his sister's wedding, creates a very appropriate coda to a project that will hopefully inspire many others' Crafty Christmases! \"... playing with determination and inventiveness... Eklund hammers home his credentials as a player emphatically.\" - All About Jazz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Winter Wonderland \u003cbr\u003e1.2 The Christmas Song \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Christmas Time Is Here \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Greensleeves \u003cbr\u003e1.5 O Come, O Come Emmanuel \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Let It Snow \u003cbr\u003e1.7 I'll Be Home for Christmas \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Silent Night \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Two As One\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Nathan Eklund","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39698653511751,"sku":"19357768","price":17.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/2046097.jpg?v=1747365785","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/nathan-eklund-group-crafty-christmas","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
