The KCCK Featured CD for December is “Christmas Vibes” from Warren Wolf. His work with Christian McBride, Bobby Watson, and the SFJazz Collective has established Warren as the foremost straight-ahead vibraphonist of his generation. His new release is brimming with jazz yuletide cheer sure to provide the ideal soundtrack to the season. Wolf takes an even more prominent role than usual, exhibiting his prowess on the piano as well as highlighting his usual virtuosity on the vibes. In part, that was out of necessity as the album was recorded in mid-March just as the pandemic was beginning to take hold, resulting in some last-minute change of plan. “Christmas Vibes” is from Mack Avenue Records.
