Synopsis

Album Description
The most famous album produced and arranged by Vincent Montana, Jr. would have to be the 1976 multi-platinum masterpiece "Christmas Jollies" by The Salsoul Orchestra. On this latest production, Montana slows it down a bit blending the spirit and tradition of Christmas into a highly sophisticated and smooth jazz style just in time for the holidays. Teaming up with the Montana Sextet, "Christmas Time Is Here" offers classic Christmas standards in a soothing laid-back feel showcasing velvety vibes, twinkling chimes, hypnotic congas, funky bass and plenty of solos by the Sextet members. With such excellent instrumentation and musicianship, it's more like a mellow jam session than a Christmas compilation. Jazz lovers, R&B fans and urban contemporary addicts will truly appreciate this effort.
