Over the years, many jazz artists have ended up detouring into pop when they recorded Christmas albums. But listeners can rest assured that Christmas in Hollywood is both a Christmas album and a true jazz album. Plas Johnson, of course, could have easily made this a pop recording -- the versatile tenor saxman has certainly backed his share of non-jazz artists, and is probably most noted for his performance on Henry Mancini’s “Pink Panther Theme”. Christmas in Hollywood, however, is very much a hard bop/soul-jazz recording.
It was a great pleasure for me to work with Plas once again on the production of this CD, as well as legendary balladeer and blues shouter Ernie Andrews.
