Fantastic blues piano and boogie-woogie recording by Swiss piano player Elias Bernet and his band, with fourteen cleverly selected Christmas songs Elias recreates on piano, adding the rhythms of boogie-woogie, gospel, New Orleans jazz and even Latin in a totally new approach, giving to all these Christmas standards a new dimension that allows us to appreciate the tasteful fine technique and vocal qualities of this young but at the same time totally experienced piano blues value.

Elias has performed at the prestigious festivals of Lucerne and Montreux in Switzerland and has also traveled to the United States, having also been awarded with the Culture Prize by the Canton of Saint Gallen, in recognition to his musical work. Also mention the original mixture he regularly performs on piano together with Nicolas Senn, dulcimer virtuoso, for the program “Dulcimer Meets Boogie-Woogie” that has got a great acceptance by different audiences.

This time Elias Bernet is on piano, Hammond and vocals, with the collaboration of his usual band including Markus Fritzsche on double bass and vocals and Bernat Egger on drums.

If you love Christmas time with traditional songs and you also enjoy the boogie-woogie fast-paced rhythms, this album will fulfill all your expectations, providing superb Christmas evenings to savor the warmth of home and the energy Elias Bernet communicates in all the album songs.
