Brass music and Christmas have a long and treasured association, and A Top Brass Christmas celebrates this special relationship. Hosted by one of the world’s greatest living brass musicians, James Morrison, A Top Brass Christmas brings together some festive favourites, introducing carols, songs and lots of seasonal brass music. There’s jazz from Chet Baker and Gunhild Carling, big band from Tom Kubis, Stan Kenton, Duke Ellington, and the Airmen of Note, carols from Brighouse and Rastrick Brass Band, Bone-a-Fide, and The New York Staff Band of the Salvation Army, plus brassy pop covers from Oompah Brass, Aubrey Logan, and Back Chat Brass. James also compiles his own Top Brass Nutcracker Suite and plays original arrangements of festive classics by the likes of Imperial Brass, Riot Jazz, and German Brass, and more! The perfect way to get in a Christmassy mood! Show less
