Jazz Artist Jeff Sparks' A Jazzy Christmas In Stores & On Itunes Now!

Online, December 11, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Arrow Records released the second album from jazz saxophonist Jeff Sparks entitled A Jazzy Christmas, available on iTunes and at select retailers nationwide, on December 4th. With ballads including "This Christmas" and "Oh Holy Night," this album embraces a collection of gospel, funk, soul and R&B with a holiday themed appeal.

Well known and highly regarded within the contemporary urban jazz scene, Jeff Sparks brings an array of spiritual and musical experiences and talents to this soulful assortment of Christmas melodies. This collection follows his accomplished debut album Love.Life.Soul, which was released in 2010 and captured music lovers of all generations. "Paradise," the album's first single, peaked at #1 as the most added single at Jazz Radio and held the #4 "Spincrease" placement with over thirty plays in the first week of rotation. This signature compilation will also be included in a bundle with Jazzy Christmas.

Having shared the stage with gospel greats like Fred Hammond and Donnie McClurkin and music legends like Dizzy Gillespie and Brandford Marsalis, Jeff Sparks takes you on a ride of fresh urban arrangements with a spiritually festive touch on Jazzy Christmas. The emotionally stirring lead single, "Do You Hear What I Hear," is a rendition of a popular Christmas classic, opening with a funky brass section and bass motif and setting a cool, layback mood of soulful soprano lines between each verse. Sparks once again blesses us with an emotive, entertaining album that will help brighten the holiday season.
