Soulful Christmas (With A Funky Twist)

Description

Soul and Christmas go hand in hand like gingerbread and sugar icing. Raphael Wressnig releases a Christmas album like this one. In the boogaloo version of "Santa Claus is Coming to Town", Wressnig cruises down the Jimmy Smith highway, and the traditional Christmas carol "Leise rieselt der Schnee" (Snow falls softly) arrives on the turntable as a soul ballad via Muscle Shoals in Alabama! Because the quintessence of funk lies in New Orleans, the Christ Child sends the "Little Drummer Boy" to a "Crawfish Fiesta" with Professor Longhair and Eddie Bo. Christmas is much more fun with the groove and funk of New Orleans: Raphael Wressnig on the Christmas organ and the superb ensemble show just how soulful and groovy Christmas music can be!
