Description

Pianist/composer Christian Sands’ cinematic approach to popular holiday classics takes center stage with Christmas Stories, his first album since his critically acclaimed, GRAMMY® nominated 2020 release Be Water. Having performed in-demand Christmas shows at Jazz at Lincoln Center and around the world, Sands offers such classics as “Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!,” “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas,” “Silent Night,” “Jingle Bells,” and “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen,” as well as a few surprises. Joining the NAACP Image Award nominee are vibraphonist Stefon Harris, saxophonist Jimmy Greene, guitarists Max Light and Marvin Sewell, bassist Yasushi Nakamura, percussionist Keita Ogawa, and drummer Ryan Sands.

Since arriving on the scene, Sands has shared the stage with such jazz luminaries as Wynton Marsalis, Dianne Reeves and more.  His meteoric rise in the jazz world already includes performances with the legendary Oscar Peterson and Dr. Billy Taylor.  He met Dr. Billy Taylor at the Jazz in July program in 2006, and formed an immediate connection.  Dr. Taylor dubbed him his protégé, and Christian has followed in his mentor’s footsteps by encouraging, inspiring and advocating for the preservation and history of jazz.  He teaches and promotes the passion and richness of jazz to young people as well as to mature audiences.  In 2015 he started the Jazz Kids of Montmartre in Copenhagen, Denmark, and he also teaches at Jazz in July, where he is an alumnus.

A deeply rich and soulful feeling can be heard in Christian’s music, characterized by his infectious energy and spirit.  It was that same spirit that caught the attention of Grammy award winning bassist, Christian McBride, who asked Sands — then 20 years old — to sit in at the Village Vanguard with his big band, Inside Straight.  That appearance led to Sands becoming a member of bassist Christian McBride’s Trio, with whom he has toured throughout the world.  Their 2013 CD release, “Out Here,” received a Grammy nomination for Best Jazz Instrumental Album.

Additionally, Sands received a Grammy Nomination for Best Latin Piano Solo for his participation on the MSM “Kenya Revisited” album.  He was also a finalist for the 2015 Cole Porter Jazz Fellowship Award sponsored by the America Pianist Association.
