Do You Love Christmas? Jen Salisbury does!

Arts, Music, Performing Arts

What do you do when you have wonderful memories of Christmas past, but can’t find the right song? . . . You write your own Christmas Jazz!

That is exactly what Jen Salisbury did, remembering all the wonderful Christmas tunes from years gone from the likes of Bing Crosby, Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald, using them as styling guides – the result, an EP of eight Christmas songs of which three are brand new! – but sounding so . . . . so . . . . so . . . . Christmassy!

Hear what Jen had to say about writing and singing these brand new songs and recording her special Christmas EP – Do You Love Christmas? – in this JOYcast from Bent Notes on JOY 94.9.

Jen launches the EP on Saturday December 22, 2018 from 6pm at the Paris Cat Jazz Club in Goldie Lane Melbourne.

Jen Salisbury was guest of Bent Notes on Sunday December 16, 2018
