Nathan Allen - That First Noel (2019) FLAC

Enjoy the story of Christmas with a soulful saxophone twist. This album will take you on a journey to remember the greatest birthday that ever was.

Coming from a musical family in Ontario, Canada, Nathan began exploring the world of musical performance when he was old enough to walk. His father taught him how to read and perform music first on the piano and then on the guitar. It wasn't until Nathan reached middle school at age 11 that he had the opportunity to pick up a saxophone. He now enjoys producing music videos for his YouTube channel.

Nathan is most widely known as a YouTuber. His YouTube channel features smooth music and video blogs about playing the saxophone. Nathan's covers of chart-topping hits have placed him among the most popular saxophone players making cover music on YouTube. He performs frequently in the Greater Toronto Area and has had the pleasure of sharing the stage with Toronto artists like Dwayne Morgan, and Shi Wisdom.

Nathan's sound is influenced by smooth and versatile saxophonists like Grover Washington, Jr., Kirk Whalum, and Gerald Albright. He also takes influence from Euge Groove, Richard Elliot, and others. Nathan has a continual focus on strengthening his artistic repertoire by studying the works of great musicians. He has studied under Kelly Jefferson and Lorne Lofsky at York University in Toronto, ON. He has also received some mentorship from Bob Reynolds and Walter Beasley.
