O Tannenbaum | Dave Brubeck

The Grammy and Billboard award winning trumpeter and bandleader, Irvin Mayfield, debuts his first album of holiday music with A New Orleans Creole Christmas, a collection of timeless holiday classics reinterpreted by the widely-recorded cultural ambassador of New Orleans. With his 12th release on the New Orleans source for jazz, Basin Street Records, Mayfield demonstrates his maturity as a player and arranger with the handpicked small ensemble called The New Orleans Jazz Playhouse Revue. The album blends traditional-style playing on the upbeat rendition of “O Tannenbaum – O Christmas Tree” with soulful, gospel-inspired versions of “Silent Night” and “Winter Wonderland”, and melodic, modern jazz renditions of other favorites such as “The Christmas Song” and “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas”. Michael Watson graces the listener with his velvet singing voice on the Vince Guaraldi/Lee Mendelson classic, “Christmas Time is Here”.

A New Orleans Creole Christmas was recorded at Irvin Mayfield’s Jazz Playhouse on Bourbon Street in New Orleans. Recording on a street famed as the origin of Jazz, the Grammy-winning artist continues his mission of placing Jazz at the center of American culture and advancing a time-honored tradition in a city known for its music.

A New Orleans Creole Christmas is sure to delight the serious jazz listener and families looking to enjoy a fresh take on their favorite Christmas melodies, as they spend time together this holiday season.

🎷 Basement Blues – Lounge Jazz Café Collection

Basement Blues sinks into the warm glow of lounge jazz and café-style blues, a soundtrack for dim corners, clinking glasses, and late-night conversations. 🕯️🍷 Smooth saxophone lines, mellow piano chords, upright bass, and brushed drums flow together to create an atmosphere that’s both intimate and timeless.

Each track feels like a smoky evening in a tucked-away jazz bar, where the music lingers in the air like perfume and stories unfold slowly. Perfect for unwinding, studying, or savoring a quiet night with good company. 🌙🎶
