Christmas With My Friends VII Nils Landgren SKU: ACTLP99161 Barcode: 0614427991614 20.00 £20.00 Genre: Jazz Label: ACT Released Date: 30th October 2020 Buying Format: 1LP Out of stock Back Order Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info It is all of fourteen years since Nils Landgren – the risen star of the trombone, charismatic singer and established luminary of the European jazz scene – first gathered together his closest companions in a studio to make a ‘Christmas With My Friends’ album and then take the group on tour with him. The project was successful right from the start: the German magazine Stern hailed the first album as “the most beautiful Christmas CD ever.” So, from that point on, there was no looking back and never the slightest doubt that Landgren and his friends would go on to repeat this special way of celebrating Christmas: they have continued to do so every other year. Legions of fans have welcomed the albums and tour concerts into their own ways of celebrating Christmas. In fact, ‘Christmas With My Friends’ has now established itself as nothing less than a Christmas tradition in its own right. There is a very appealing variety here but every single piece also brings out the talent of this unique cohort of musicians. Landgren’s trombone has an inimitable lightness and variety, Norberg’s guitar tone has folk resonances, the saxophone of Jonas Knutssons is imbued with wonderful lyricism and the sound of Eva Kruse’s bass is warm and full. But above all the magic comes from the fact that the singers have voices that are so distinctive and yet so perfectly complementary: the classical vocals of Jeanette Köhn, the bittersweet soul of Ida Sand, the radiant clarity of Jessica Pilnäs, the dark, powerful blues of Sharon Dyall and – last but not least – the bright white soul singing of Nils Landgren herself. “Each of us has our own way of interpreting,” says Landgren of this, “and the personality of each one of us shines through on the album. Mine too – yes I have indulged myself… and every song here really does have a special meaning for us – and maybe for you too.” Artist Nils Landgren Genre Jazz Label ACT Buying Options 1LP Format 1LP Condition New Country UK Track Listings This Christmas (from Sweden) - Johan Norberg Comin’ Home For Christmas (from Germany & Sweden) - Eva Kruse & Peter Liljeqvist / Peter Liljeqvist Ave Maria (from Austria) - Franz Schubert This Endris Night (from Ireland) - Traditional, arranged by CWMF The Forest Raised A Christmas Tree (from Russia) - Raisa Kudasheva / Leo Beckman / arranged by CWMF Gdy śliczna Panna / Listen To My Lullaby (from Poland) - Traditional / English lyrics by Sharon Dyall / arranged by CWMF Sizalelwe Indodana / Unto Us A Son Is Born (from South Africa) - Traditional, arranged by Concord Nkabinde and CWMF Sweet Was The Song (from Great Britain) - Traditional, arranged by CWMF Hin fyrstu jól (from Iceland) - Ingibjörg Þorbergs Hodie Christus (from Great Britain) - Benjamin Britten Just Another Christmas Song (from the USA) - Homer Steinweiss Sylvian Joululaulu (from Finland) - Karl Collan / Zacharias Topelius / arranged by CWMF En förtvivlad vän (from Belgium) - Jaques Brel / Swedish translation by Andreas Mattson Feliz Navidad (from Puerto Rico) - José Feliciano Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Nils Landgren and more from Jazz View Product Quick View Nils Landgren Christmas With My Friends VIII Jazz | ACT | 1LP Released 3rd November 2023 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nils Landgren Christmas With My Friends VIII £20.00 Genre: Jazz Label: ACT SKU: ACTLP9978-1 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 3rd November 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Nils Landgren Sentimental Journey Jazz | ACT | 2LP Released 25th November 2022 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nils Landgren Sentimental Journey £23.00 Genre: Jazz Label: ACT SKU: ACTLP9409-1 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 25th November 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Nils Landgren 3 Generations Jazz | ACT | 180g, 3LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 25th November 2022 £47.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nils Landgren 3 Generations £47.00 Genre: Jazz Label: ACT SKU: ACTLP9958-1 Formats: 180g, 3LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 25th November 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Nils Landgren Creole Love Call Jazz | ACT | 2LP Released 28th October 2022 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nils Landgren Creole Love Call £23.00 Genre: Jazz Label: ACT SKU: ACTLP9707-1 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 28th October 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Kenny Dorham Whistle Stop Jazz | Blue Note | 180g, 1LP Released 15th November 2016 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Kenny Dorham Whistle Stop £21.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Blue Note SKU: LP84063 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 15th November 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Yamamoto Trio Midnight Sugar Jazz | Impex Records | 180g, 2LP, 45rpm Released 31st March 2023 £70.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Yamamoto Trio Midnight Sugar £70.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Impex Records SKU: IMXLP23-45 Formats: 180g, 2LP, 45rpm Released Date: 31st March 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Jazzrausch Bigband Alle Jahre wieder!
