Christmas Song for Today!!

Sup cats, hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! I know it's been forever since I have done a recommendation, but I'm back and kicking it off with a Christmas banger.


Todays song is Those Soulful Jingle Bells by Mark Whitfield.

Mark Whitfield, born in Lindenhurst, New York 1966, graduated from Boston's prestigious Berklee College of Music in 1987 where he studied composition, arranging, film scoring and conducting as well as all styles of guitar performance. Later on that year he returned to his native NY, and immediately began his professional career. He had begun to perform and record with many well-known artists including, Dizzy Gillespie, Jimmy Smith, Herbie Hancock, McCoy Tyner, Art Blakey and many more.

As a result of the popularity awarded gained while amassing his impressive resume, Whitfield was dubbed "The Best Young Guitarist in The Business", by the New York Times (Link to New York Times about Whitfield). In September of 1990, Warner Brothers Records released Whitfield's debut solo recording, "The Marksman" to widespread critical acclaim and impressive sales.
