Martina DaSilva & Dan Chmielinski | A Very ChimyTina Christmas
“A Very ChimyTina Christmas” is a reflection of bassist Dan Chmielinski and vocalist Martina DaSilva’s favorite holiday classics, including their own personal take on the Christmas spirit with their original Christmas composition, “Diamonds and Pearls.” They welcome some of their closest friends and mentors as guests, including saxophonist Lucas Pino, vibraphonist Joel Ross, bassist Ben Wolfe and guitarist Gabe Schnider. The album was recorded over the course of two days in New York City, where they both reside, and features ChimyTina’s noteworthy tight-knit and musically complex arranging style, bringing you a rich, warm blend of timbres that brings all listeners a warm, holiday glow.
