Christmas surprises!

Posted by mjohancsik on

Here is the FULL VERSION of my sax quartet arrangement of Vince Guaraldi’s “Christmas Time is Here” – and it’s free! Please enjoy this and other eccentric xmas delights on this year’s edition of the Christmas Mixtape. You can hear me on the Oops Kitchen’s “O Come O Come Emmanuel” and I also contributed a little seasoning to Mascara Wizard’s version of “I Wanna Hippopotamus for Christmas.”

i had the great pleasure of recording some christmas music this year for this cool project featuring dozens of montreal musicians & friends! the oops kitchen contributed our rendition of a beautiful polish christmas carol ‘lulajże jezuniu’ on which i play guitar, and i’m also playing alto on ‘jingle bell funk’ by fox and the hound.

the album is full of surprises and is available for free download but we recommend taking the 5 or 10 bucks you would have spent on it and donating to a good charity.

stay tuned for more christmas and non-christmas surprises!

exciting things to come!
