In order for musical compositions to help your spirit soar, the bass, drums and percussion must create an environment that allow the music to easily enter your heart. Jose "Pepe" Jimenez brings his drums and percussion to "Christmas Eve" in a manor reminding us of the many diverse rhythms from around the world. Chris Davis and his upright bass blends musical styles, causing Duly Noted to be able to swing, yet breath and sigh like a gentle snow on Christmas Eve. In keeping with Duly Noted's vision of constantly bringing the listener different textures, Christmas Eve brings you Chelle Reed on violin. Her classical influence brings one more layer of beautiful texture to several of these Christmas classics. Dan Huber's vision while producing Christmas Eve with Duly Noted was to create music that would find its way into your heart and home during the holidays for many years to come. You will find spirited big band styles, slow dreamy melodic ballads and Christmas standards such as "O Holy Night" which remind us all of the true meaning of Christmas. If you love the many personalities a saxophone can bring to your listening experience, you will enjoy Dan's interpretations and vision.
