Album Description

If you’re looking for that perfect album to play during the holidays, then you’ve just found it. As reviewed by Jazz Journalist Scott Yanow. Angela O’Neill and the Outrageous8 holiday jazz album ‘Home for the Holidays’ has been three years in the making and is a collection of popular holiday songs with upbeat arrangements. It’s the kind of album you don’t mind playing on repeat. The challenges of 2020 have greatly impacted the music scene and many hurdles had to be overcome to bring this holiday jazz album into fruition. Just ask Angela and the outrageous8 what its been like freezing their butts off rehearsing .. how the music Union is closed... and the process of rehearsing and recording ..”it’s been one where we’ve taken everyone’s safety very seriously.“ Angela O’Neill and Harry Smallenburg have been toiling away,. putting together these charts .. a couple more every year until they had a full album that is worth listening to.
