Recorded in 1968, this is Christmas favourites as played by one of the most successful instrumental artists in pop history.
"It was a Merry Christmas for the Brass and I in June of 1968 when we started recording the 'Christmas Album' to be ready for a December release. I began collecting material long before, thinking about songs that I always wanted to record. I wanted to start each selection with the sound of a choir in order to try to separate our album from the myriad of Christmas albums available. My family and I pull out the CD every Christmas, and I'm amazed at how well the album has held up overtime. Merry Christmas, everyone!"
- Herb Alpert
