A Festival of Christmas - Jelani Eddington at Sanfilippo Theatre Organ.
I have several theatre organ Christmas CDs and they are all a disappointment... except this one! Here we have the fantastic sound of the incomparable Sanfilippo organ played by Jelani. The music is a mix of classical/church with and orchestra/theatre organ. All I can say is wow! Most of the arrangements are Leroy Anderson ones. Sleigh Ride is a re-release of a previous recording which uses another percussionist (which I don't care for.) There are also organ/piano duets performed by Jealani using the computerized player action of the organ. Included also is a wonderful classical arrangement of Greensleeves by Purvis. All the other Christmas CDs I have just sound like someone sitting down to play Christmas songs.... not wonderful arrangements by Leroy Anderson, interpreted by Jelani Eddington. This CD is a must get!
