It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year
By Edward Pola and George Wyle
Featuring Gordon Goodwin's Big Phat Band
Vocal arrangement: Simon Åkesson and Gordon Goodwin
Band arrangement: Gordon Goodwin
Accent is back in action with their fourth album, "Christmas All the Way."
Though the members hail from different parts of the globe (Canada, England, France, Sweden and USA), among many other things, they share a common love for Christmas music. They decided it was time to create a Christmas album that, along with nostalgic sensibility, would add a creative notch to the belt of Christmas vocal ensemble music. On previous recordings, Accent presented original, jazz and "jazzified" pop tunes, all arranged by group members. For Christmas All the Way, the group expands their palette by engaging other arrangers and including big band and string arrangements. And, of course, Accent's trademark a cappella fare is heard throughout.
