Album Notes

A Kwortet Christmas takes some of our favorite Christmas classics and reinvents them with solid fusion sounds from the worlds of Jazz, Rock and Classical music.

Performed by Kwortet - Music Fused, with members Paul Kwo, Jon Monter, Calvin L. Blake III and Kevin Chubirka, A Kwortet Christmas, Kwortet's debut album, will get listeners in the holiday spirit with their quintessential holiday sound.

The album was recorded live as a band in San Gabriel, CA, giving it a true warm live feel that can't be duplicated with studio recordings where different instruments are tracked out differently. The album brings a richness and warmness into your home or wherever you are as if a live band is performing on the spot there for you the listener.

On top of classic holiday tunes, A Kwortet Christmas features an original improv "Be Blue" created by the band specially for this album that will delight your ears with a free form jazz fusion work.
