Very Chilly Christmas Chilly Gonzales

Composer, showman in slippers and a bathrobe, he has a deep dedication to his craft: he's an Entertainer. His humble service to this calling lends a certain inevitability to this announcement: Chilly Gonzales has made a Christmas album. From feudal oldies to newer holiday pop canon, A very chilly christmas surveys a broad scope of seasonal repertoire and sentiment. There's grandeur and solemnity, there's austerity and merriment, and there's Mariah Carey. With his unabashed loyalty to melody, Gonzales' approach deftly navigates the myth of one shared songbook with a collection that opts for nuance over pomp. From Wenceslas to Wham, the great

revelation of this collection is the restrained, distilled beauty of Gonzales' signature minor key interpretations.
