There is STILL time to add music to your Christmas collection and I strongly urge you to do so with the Christmas project from producer Aaron Lindsey, Coming Home For Christmas.  I have a feeling it’s gonna be a classic project for the Christmas season in my home.

It’s my belief that Christmas and jazz go together like Santa & his Mrs., and Aaron Lindsey gives 11 tracks of both classic and original holiday tunes set to jazz arrangements.  The project features Lindsey on piano and bass, with guest sax solos from Kirk Whalum and drum performances from Marvin McQuitty.

For your listening pleasure, I’m adding TWO singles to the Christmas PunditPlayer so you can check ‘em out before you purchase.

The first song on the player is “When I Get Home (No Place Like Home),” an original composition by Lindsey, written for his wife, Adrian.   The second track is the classic “Silent Night.”  And, FYI, he’s doing some head-turning lead vocals on both of ‘em.

My only disappointment with the record is that it came upon the industry so suddenly that I fear not enough folks know about it.  That’s not news to Lindsey, though.  He acknowledges the sudden release, but explains “I did this record in three weeks solely to keep my promise to my wife, who was in need of new holiday music.”  Can’t be mad at that… especially since we all get to be beneficiaries of his love for his wife.  LOVE ON, then!

The project is available for immediate download (or physical purchase) from his website: http://www.aaronlindsey.com/.  If Christmas music has ANY place in your sentimental little hearts, you’ll want this project– I promise.
