SUMMARY:Jazzy Brass For The Holidays
DESCRIPTION:Tis the season to be jolly with Jazzy Brass for the Holida
 ys. This group plays fresh, original arrangements of holiday favorites
  for the young and old. Most of the tunes are performed with a jazz fl
 avor, while never losing sight of the melody which made them classics.
  Jazzy Brass for the Holidays is made up of Eddie Allen (leader) & Cec
 il Bridgewater on trumpets, W. Marshall Sealy on french horn, Clark Ga
 yton on trombone, Kenny Davis on acoustic bass and Carl Allen on drums
  and glockenspiel.\n \nTo hear and order their CD go to;      �

  \nYou know the songs but they don’t really sound like anything you
 ’ve heard before. A smart holiday set that might have some fat play
 ing but certainly doesn’t show any schmaltz.\nChris Spector – Midw
 est Record\n \nEven if you’ve heard these… no, I know you’ve he
 ard these songs over and over and it takes a trooper to want to hear t
 hem again, so why bother with the same ol’ rusty nuggets? Because th
 e songs are good, their musicianship is spot on, and the performances 
 are good enough for listening outside of the holidays.\nMusic Reviews\
 n \nThe album has a vibrant jazz core, but remains wholly accessible 
 to jazz-phobic folks who might prefer the safety of popular standards 
 with predictable arrangements\n-Carol Swanson-\n \nTrumpeter Eddie Al
 len leads a brassy jazz ensemble through fourteen Christmas classics�
 �. And it is sweet harmony indeed as Allen's arrangements allow for ge
 nerous improvisation. His approach features warm, layered brass vs. bo
 undaryless free form. The cover is bright and playfully colorful and t
 hat is the spirit of Allen's effort but the music is serious, sophisti
 cated jazz!\nD. Oscar Groomes - O's Place Jazz Magazine\n \nAs you m
 ight expect from the title, Eddie’s sextet is dominated by brass ins
 truments. If you’re looking for seasonal music with a difference, Ja
 zz Brass For The Holidays is a package you’ll enjoy opening. Recomme
 nded.\nBC Magazine/Geezer Music Club/Big Geez\n \nJazzy Brass for the
  Holidays (DBCD) \nSix top New York City-based jazzmen dig into the s
 easonal repertoire with flavor and spunk. Headed by trumpeter Eddie Al
 len, this CD offers an up-to-date, swinging, little big band approach 
 to these timeless ditties, all arranged with aplomb by the leader.\nZa
 n Stewart - New Jersey Star-Ledger\n  \nJazzy Brass for the Holidays
  (DBCD)\nA sextet (brass quartet, bass and drums) led by trumpeter Edd
 ie Allen sounds both traditional and deeply rooted in jazz integrity h
 ere.\n-The News Observer\n \nEvery individual track has a jazz focus 
 yet the original melodies are preserved to remind you of the meaning o
 f the holiday and the reason for celebrating it.\nKeith “MuzikMan”
