A reaction to long-term fan demands, Raymond Arroyo Christmas Joyful and Splendid charms audience members with Arroyo’s renaissance sensibilities. Warm vocals and a bit of humor invigorate and illuminate an assortment of Christmas principles we’ve all underestimated. Appearing top 5 on Bulletin’s Occasional and Jazz Outlines, as well as top 10 by and large on Amazon’s Music Diagram, and top 25 on Barnes and Respectable’s Smash hit graph for all classification’s, ‘Cheerful and Splendid’ has proactively shown to be an early Occasion #1. On the side of the new recording, Arroyo will bring his bubbly family Jazz Christmas shows to choose markets, where he will be joined by extraordinary visitors like José Feliciano and Frankie Avalon.
Raymond Arroyo has engaged and informed crowds somehow for what seems like forever, as a patron for Fox and CNN, with his New York Times top rated books and his continuous appearances on: The Today Show, Fox News, Great Morning America, CNN Title News, Access Hollywood, Erin Burnett Outfront, The Ingraham Point and through cherished shows on EWTN (generally known as “the world’s biggest Confidence media organization”)… Crowds have energetically answered his presentation recording Christmas Happy and Splendid in which his well established melodic foundation becomes the overwhelming focus; having grown up singing in his local New Orleans, then, at that point, moving on from NYU’s Tisch School of Human expressions followed by theater spells in London.
On the ‘Merry & Bright’ album, as well as in concert, Arroyo is backed by jazz supergroup, The NOLA Players. Christmas Merry & Bright showcases Kevin Kaska’s (The Greatest Showman, Jungle Book) beautiful, Big Band new arrangements of the timeless “I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day”, a hard driving, “Joy to the World”, and a never-before heard orchestration of medley “The First Noel/ We Magi of Orient Are”. Recorded by multi-grammy award winning producer Brad Michel, the album captures unexplored emotions of the season with an all-new rendition of the beloved, “Feliz Navidad”– complete with a moving duet with Grammy Winner, José Feliciano. Arroyo will be touring in select markets this coming November and December in support of Raymond Arroyo Christmas Merry & Bright, as well as a brand new iHeart Radio Holiday Special, bringing a season of uniting, memory making, wonder awakening, experience to prepare for the yuletide season!
