David Ian
Sep 26, 2011
Superchick guitarist Dave Ghazarian trades in the rock guitar for some jazz piano on his first solo project. Releasing under the abbreviated name David Ian, "David Ian Vintage Christmas" will release November 8, just in time to celebrate the Christmas season.
He drew inspiration from the classic jazz and Christmas LPs of the 1950s. The result is a set of familiar Christmas classics with arrangements reminiscent of favorites like the Vince Guaraldi Trio's "A Charlie Brown Christmas."
"I tried to bring the arrangements within reach of the listener; I want them to feel like they're sitting by the fire in their living room listening to these melodically driven, mid-century arrangements. Each instrument, tone and note on this recording was purposefully chosen in an attempt to take the listener to that time and place," said Ian.
