CHRISTMAS TIME IS HERE - THE ENCORE! It was a 1980 LP recording of Christmas music that put Canadian Brass on everyone's Christmas shopping list - Christmas With The Canadian Brass attracted a Billboard top-10 chart position, Canadian Juno & Grammy nominations and sales in the "gold record" territory. To return to the wonderful sound of LPs & a new CD, and to do so with holiday music seemed perfectly natural. We chose to re-master & re-release many of the titles from our Steinway & Sons CD Christmas Time is Here. Added to the original Charlie Brown Christmas classic titles are newly recorded classics, It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year featuring the trombone artistry of Achilles, and an extensive tribute to Glenn Miller with Songbook by Chris Dedrick, which includes our returning horn titan Jeff. Other titles included: Christmas is Coming; What Child is This; O Tannenbaum; Skating; Christmas Time is Here; Hark! The Herald Angels Sing; Bach's Bells; The Angel Choir and The Trumpeter; Frosty the Snowman; I Saw Three Ships and You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch.

Canadian Brass Christmas Collection
Have attended a Canadian Brass Christmas concert at the College of DuPage several years ago. Their performance turned my wife and I into fans. The music, humor and performance made the evening very enjoyable. The cds bring back the magic of their performance. Hope more people will experience The Canadian Brass.
