'Tis the season to add some rhythm to your holiday music collection! Koch International Classics is pleased to announce the release of This Christmas, by the Grammy-nominated woodwind quintet: Imani Winds. This is not a sit-by-the-fireside holiday CD, as the Imani's have assembled a toe-tapping collection of thirteen yuletide favorites, with an all-star cast. From traditional treatments of Sleigh Ride and The Holly and the Ivy, to gospel-tinged arrangements of Go Tell It on the Mountain and Silent Night, This Christmas with Imani Winds is filled with the spirit and elegance that defines the holidays.
