"Icelander"...

The spirit of Christmas is all about this forum, and the proof of that is your "take" on another seasonal evergreen, "Mary's Boy-Child".

One of the things that I have always found most exciting about music is the way musicians re-imagine classic songs by hearing them in the form of other genres. Your instrumental arrangement of "Mary's Boy-Child" is a superb example of this.

The medium-tempo "Latinization" of the tune transforms it into an islander's dream of the Christ's birth. The relaxed, sensual and colorful percussion sounds set against the languid electric guitar solo and the glowing vibraphone tones in the melody plant a whole new spirit into the song that is as relaxing as floating on the ocean at the height of a summer's noon. The accordion adds just right amount of romantic sweetness to the production.

"Icelander", you've given birth to a calmingly jazzy rendition of "Mary's Boy-Child". Thank you for it. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you, sir!
