As he’s eased these past few years from well-established pop fusion artist to making a promising impact in Smooth Jazz, saxophonist Nick Stefanacci has recorded his share of exciting cover tunes from the likes of Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson and Diana Ross. This holiday season, the multi-talented musician, songwriter and producer is gracing us with “Christmas Eve,” a glistening original that has “instant classic” potential. This year, Nick introduces an sultry, saxy instrumental version in addition to the silky vocals and playful scat of last year's vocal version with Rich Aveo. Both tracks begins as a warm, tender love song before the rhythms pop harder and the tune evolves into a high energy showcase for Stefanacci’s trademark horn fire.
