Glenn McClure: hammered dulcimer, saxophone, flute, guitar, pump organ; Ted Canning: tenor, steel drums, percussion; Karen Park Canning: cello, bass New World Christmas is creative and improvisatory; the mood swings from joyful and jazzy to mysterious, reflective and poignant. The beat of calypso and samba and the rhythmic arrangements of hammered dulcimer with steel drum and saxophone give old familiar carols an entirely new feeling. (Maybe new is really old ­ remember that carols were were originally dance tunes!) It is clear that the musicians were having a lot of fun recording this album. The full resonance of Glenn's four-hammer technique in the solo selections and in combination with the steel drums and percussion is rich and complex. If you like the Mannheim Steamroller Christmas albums, you'll love this! CONTENTS
