about

According to a review in Jazz Times, “XmasVibe” is “deserving of a wide audience” with its creative arrangements of your favorite holiday standards. Most people can provide the glass of wine and warmth of a wood burning fire as the perfect setting for a holiday celebration, but few can create the backdrop of a starry winter night.

With the delicate sound of vocals, guitar, piano, vibes, chimes and bells, vibraphonist Charles Xavier takes the Christmas message on a creative and melodic song journey. The songs, both traditional and contemporary, are enchanting and mystical, and at times, abstract. Xmas Vibe orchestrates a magical winter landscape with style and unusual flair with the combined talents of Charles Xavier, Tina Marie Murray on vocals, Russell Golub on guitar and Terry Rodriguez on piano.
