There’s no shortage of Christmas music out there that can evoke the holiday spirit. But it takes a master of groove and swing like Warren Wolf to conjure a true feeling of Christmas Vibes. On his album, the vibraphone great and father of five offers an album of jazzy Yuletide cheer sure to provide the ideal soundtrack to the season for the hippest families on the block. Wolf takes an even more prominent role than usual on Christmas Vibes, playing all the piano and keyboard parts as well as spotlighting his usual virtuosity on the vibes. Warren Wolf has established himself as the foremost straight-ahead vibraphonist of his generation, a bop torchbearer well equipped to carry the mantle of forebears like Bobby Hutcherson and Milt Jackson.
Imani-Grace Cooper is one of Washington D.C.’s most versatile and accomplished jazz singers, with regular appearances in venues around the city, including The Kennedy Center. She has shared the stage with legends — Diane Reeves, Esperanza Spalding, Terri Lyne Carrington, the late George Duke, and Al Jarreau, to name a few — and performed as a solo artist in historic Apollo Theater during Harlem Jazz Week (New York).
