The year 2024 was a critical one for Philadelphia mallet percussionist and poet Angelo Outlaw. His debut album Axis Of Time was released to great acclaim, garnering praise from the likes of Gilles Peterson, Germany’s NDR Kultur and, naturally, his hometown radio station WXPN. After a summer spent performing at some of Philadelphia's most prestigious events, Angelo is wrapping up the year with a gorgeous cover of Mel Torme's classic "The Christmas Song."
Featuring Eraserhood Sound's signature analog production, the track oozes sophisticated soulfulness. Angelo delivers a mesmerizing performance that picks up right where his debut album left off, interpreting the song's indelible melody with his dazzling trademark delivery. Ron Kerber adds lush flute to counterpoint Angelo's melodic playing, and even takes center stage for a jazzy solo. This is instrumental soul-jazz at its best, and the perfect addition to any Christmas lover’s holiday playlist. An Eraserhood Sound Production.
