Quintero's unique Christmas package is destined to become a holiday favorite. Blending global favorites along side JC's signature soothing guitar voice reveals the refreshing recipe for this special holiday treat. JTTW marks the debut recording of JC s new acoustic trio featuring drummer, Aaron Serfaty (Arturo Sandoval, Nester Torres) & acoustic bassist, Eliseo Borrero (Strunz & Farah, Paco de Lucia, Juan Gabriel) who perform JC's arrangements with eloquence & style. The concept of the project remains constant as the musical arrangements intertwine mixing the familiarity of festive titles with JC s distinctive blend of American/Colombian sounds- a hallmark throughout JC's recording career. JTTW marks the homecoming of a unique voice on the guitar...a voice of celebration and peace.
"The clean, simple presentation of the music here exemplifies the peace and goodwill we all need at this time. Quintero spotlights his new acoustic trio on eight out of the ten songs, playing solo on the other two ("Angels We Have Heard on High" and the traditional Spanish lullaby "A la Nanita Nana"). He's a superb guitarist, and the effortless, understated elegance of his performances seem perfect to my ear. The songs sparkle with the tinsel of talent, and shine with integrity. JOY TO THE WORLD will be one of those albums I like to play near the very end of Christmas Eve, when everyone else has retired for the night, the house is quite, and the soft lights of the tree and the fireplace are all that punctuate the darkness. It's when one can truly sense the peace and quiet joy of the season. That's exactly the feeling that will come to you when you listen to this wonderful collection. Juan Carlos Quintero's JOY TO THE WORLD will stand the test of time as an all-time Christmas classic!
