A unique take on the Christmas season with this CD combining original material and classic Christmas tunes. Utilizing his collection of traditional and obscure brass instruments, and the talents of brilliant musicians and vocalists, Dave (Ray Charles' trumpet player) paints a broad spectrum of styles and moods. David Hoffman's album CHRISTMAS IN YOUR HEART (A New Age / Jazz combination) was completed and mastered in the Ray Charles tour bus on their very last outing. He had everything in the laptop, would send me an email containing a song - I would put my parts on - and email him back for him to assemble. This was done all the way up the coast of California. I thought this was a very interesting way to communicate in todays world. Play We Three Kings Play Let It Snow Play Samples of the entire album Songs on this album are: 1. Christmas In Your Heart 2.

Christmas Lullaby (Praying for Peace) | | Paul Adams and his compatriot Dave Hoffman join forces again to bring us this earthy collection of world/jazz to make the clouds go away.
