"An absolute must for the Christmas season ... Ian scores perfect 10s across the board!"
- CriticalJazz.com
"... a finger-snapping good time."
- All About Jazz
"... a very hip, relaxed and tasteful approach ... a little bit of that Vince Guaraldi sound going on with the piano and the soft drums ..."
- NPR
Pianist and arranger David Ian releases this highly anticipated follow-up to his 2011 debut Vintage Christmas which was praised by enthusiasts of Christmas classics and jazz reviewers alike. This five-song EP maintains the intimate feel of his debut while exploring even deeper vocal textures. Nothing evokes the warmth of the Christmas season more than endearing Christmas melodies performed by a small jazz combo, and Ian opts for this sweet vibe that places the accent firmly on melodic and lyrical content. As the titles of both his albums suggest, Ian recreate a vintage sound here, one that hearkens back to classic jazz and Christmas LPs of the 1950s.
