The Christmas Song - Gerald Albright & The Cannonball Band 

The phrase “find your own sound” comes to mind when listening to this. As a sax player, it is one of the most difficult things to separate yourself from all others and come up with a unique sound that is yours, and yours only. Players that come to mind: Michael Brecker, John Coltrane, Charlie Parker, David Sanborn, even Kenny G.....Gerald Albright has a distinct sound and phrasing that is uniquely Albright. This is a beautiful version of one of my favorite Christmas songs and they nailed it.

Gerald is such a dynamic saxophonist!

Master Blaster Improv!!! Nothing but the best!!! 🎷👏🎶😎🆒

My favourite carol. Merry Christmas.

OMG… melted my face. I totally gotta try out a cannonball sax. THANK YOU Mr Albright for all of your shedding inspiration!!!!

Gerald Albright is definitely one of the GOAT’s of the alto saxophone… Great job on the arrangement as well. Cannonball you guys are Awesome!!!

I just love this band! Especially when Mr. Albright is in it!

Tevis, these videos keep me going since the stroke paralyzed my left side. The compelling arrangements and well rehearsed band fill me with joy, since I can no longer perform. Gerald Albright is the worlds Premier Altoist, in my opinion. I thank God he works with your ensemble, your team is magnificent and magic.

Finally a christmas cover that is not kitschy!! Love the tone of the sax!!!!!

Just amazing! The most favorite christmas song. Thank you for an early and a lovely christmas gift!

Luhvissimo: Gerald's improvisation, orchestration and, yes, arrangements.

Very Nice! I have been a big fan for years. In fact, I am a sax player and my instrument repair mechanic went to college with you, Greg. Also, saw your daughter perform twice this summer, very good. Bought her latest cd to support. Much love, God Bless!
