JUSTIN TIME RELEASES NEW COMPILATION 'HAVE YOURSELF A MERRY LITTLE CHRISTMAS' FEATURING DIANA KRALL & OTHERS

Known for their eclectic yet well-balanced mix of classic and new tracks recorded between 1993 and 2011, Justin Time Records delivers a Christmas compilation that shows the breadth of talent and cohesion of various artists on the label, both legacy and rising. Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas unites the label's artists together through a collection of key tracks recorded and compiled into one Christmas album bound to stand out in any collection. Highlights from Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas include standards like GRAMMY® and Juno award-winning vocalist and pianist Diana Krall's sensual arrangement of "The Christmas Song," juxtaposed with jazz piano legend Hank Jones' warm instrumental interpretation of the same tune leaves one with the best of both worlds. Ranee Lee and Oliver Jones create a perfect harmonic symbiosis on their soulful vocal and piano arrangement of "A Christmas Day."

Whether settling in to a winter evening with vocalist Hilary Kole's previously unreleased "Let It Snow," or beating the winter blues to the Montreal Jubilation Gospel Choir's rhythmic "Christmas Calypso Medley," the harmony created between the artists on this compilation will have listeners singing and swinging right along.

Christmas standards such as Krall's "Jingle Bells" and Jones' "It Came Upon a Midnight Clear," recorded by Justin Time Records legacy artists, are complemented by up-and-coming unprecedented artists such as vocalist Coral Egan's "You're A Mean One Mr. Grinch," pianist Taurey Butler's debut instrumental arrangement of "Little Drummer Boy," and Rob McConnell Tentet's "The Christmas Medley." Quartango's classic instrumental medley "Minuit Chrétien/O Holy Night" and vocalist Johanne Blouin's "Mon Beau Sapin," a French interpretation of "O Christmas Tree," will take listeners on an international musical journey before settling into the comfort of Kole's title track, "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas."
