Description
Tim Warfield Jazzy Christmas
This year marks the 10 year anniversary of saxophonist Tim Warfield's Jazzy Christmas recording.The project began merely in effort to develop more appropriate material to perform during the holiday season but as time progressed, Tim found it necessary to arrange more material to broaden his presentation as the holiday events for which he was requested to participate became larger and more specified. Selected in the New York Times as one of the top 20 best holiday listens in 2013, his recording vividly showcases a collection of traditional holiday songs, realized from an improvisational perspective. The musical program features primarily familiar material such as "The Little Drummer Boy," and "Silent Night," but also includes a few obscure gems like Claude Thornhill's "Snowfall," and even one Hanukkah song all in the spirit of the holidays. The arrangements all by Warfield with the exception of two, are often quirky but clearly unique, resourcing as jazz often does, from elements like, the blues, swing, funk, African, and a host of other traditions, often juxtapositioning rhythmic and harmonic devices as a means to create melodic expression. The musical personnel, all of elite status include, trumpeter Terell Stafford, pianist Cyrus Chestnut, vibraphonist Stefon Harris; bassist Rodney Whitaker, drummer Clarence Penn and vocalist Lucy Yeghiazaryan.
