It Feels
like Christmas Time, the band's tenth studio album, follows the release of
Rattle Them Bones – the record that put Big Bad back at the top of the
Billboard Charts last year. Rattle Them Bones, a celebration of twenty years of
bringing an irrepressible groove to adoring fans worldwide, made an impressive
debut reaching #1 on the Jazz Album Chart on both iTunes and Amazon and was the
highest debut on the Billboard Jazz Chart entering at # 2. Jazz Times called it
"a compelling reminder that this is a collective of superior players,
deserving of attention outside of the niche they helped spawn."
It Feels
Like Christmas Time, produced by BBVD founding member and lead singer Scotty
Morris with band-mate, pianist and arranger Joshua Levy and mixed by Morris,
was recorded In Los Angeles at East West and Capitol studios. The album
includes the Morris original "It Feels Like Christmas Time," and
features guest harmonies by vocal group She, Her and I. The album also features
the crowd favorite "Christmas Is Starting Now" from Disney's Phineus
and Ferb as well as the band's unique take on holiday classics "Santa
Claus Is Coming To Town," "Jingle Bells," "Walking in a
Winter Wonderland," "Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer," "Run
Run Rudolph," "Frosty the Snowman," "All I Want for
Christmas (Is My Two Front Teeth)," "We Three Kings." Bonus
tracks through Amazon include a duet with newcomer Anna Kasper on the classic
"What Are You Doing New Year's Eve?" and the traditional "Auld
Lang Syne."
