After the success of her 2019 Christmas tracks, multi-award-winning saxophonist Jess Gillam returns with another trio of festive singles: Happy Christmas (War is Over), Nutcracker Medley, and Carol of the Bells, John Metcalfe’s new arrangement featuring 16 instrumental parts – all played by Jess on soprano, alto and baritone saxophone.

Jess Gillam says: “The Carol of the Bells arrangement has been commissioned from John Metcalfe especially for Spatial Audio and I’m hugely grateful to Jonathan Allen, the producer, for all of his meticulous work in making this a truly immersive listening experience. Winter is my favourite of all the seasons, there’s something special about coming together with friends and family and music is usually a huge part of the Yuletide celebrations!”
