The Yuletide never swung harder through the leadership of jazz drummer Tobias T. Gebb. His array of Xmas standards shines though the group's beautifully impressionistic, plaintive, & wistful improvisations of these Christmas songs. The group's clarion tone & ceaseless harmonic exploration seems to set a standard for viable & gainful virtuosity. Dynamic, yet not too aggressive, Gebb guides his players with a rhythmic vitality that is second to none.
In addition, the listener is awash with a certain romanticism, melodicism, and inventivenss that holds the entire group in good stead. Merry Christman indeed!
