Well guys, it is approaching the Christmas season once again and you all know what that means. It is time for me to try again to make and release another Christmas album. As some of you who have followed for a while probably know, I have been trying to do this for years, and every time something ends up happening. Either I get too busy with school or I get frustrated during the process and end up running out of time, or something else happens. Anyway, this year I am out of school and I am hoping that I can compile a bunch of tunes from over the years and record a few new tunes in order to create a nice Christmas album for you all to enjoy.
I have entitled this album “A Clarinet Christmas” as it will feature mostly me playing clarinet and bass clarinet, but there will be many other instruments involved including of course the saxes and rhythm section. This is going to be a mix of older and newer tunes from my previously unreleased Christmas music experiments from the past few years even stretching as far back as high school. I have plenty of songs that are pretty much release ready, so why waste time redoing songs that already sound good? That being said though, there are a bunch that don’t sound great at all, and others that have potential but need some polishing so I will likely go back and redo a great many tunes. I hope that this year we can have finally a nice long Christmas album that you all can enjoy for years to come. I would like to have it out by mid December if possible, but like always with Christmas albums I make no guarantees. Thank you all for your support of what I try to do here at jaredsmuzic.com!
