| Alan Chang Releases First Album "Cold December Night" Michael Bublé's Music Director Alan Chang Warms the Winter with His Holiday Album of Christmas Classics "Cold December Night." Award winning music director and pianist Alan Chang announced from his world tour with long time musical collaborator Michael Bublé the highly anticipated release of his compilation album of Christmas classics "Cold December Night." Hatched by Alan Chang's inspiration to share the Bublé Band's yearly tradition of arranging and writing Christmas songs for each other, the album "Cold December Night" was born. The album, so named for the only original song on the album "Cold December Night", written three years ago by Alan Chang, which also appears on Michael Bublé's 2011 "Christmas" album. Alan Chang describes his album "Cold December Night" as "melancholy interpretations of Christmas songs envisioned by various members of Michael Bublé's touring band." The album was mostly recorded at LA's Westlake Recording Studio, Capitol Records, and Chang's aptly titled Changmakers Studios. "Cold December Night" is available just in time for holiday gifting on iTunes and http://www.Amazon.com. About Alan Chang Alan Chang has served as Michael Bublé's music director, pianist, co-writer, and co-producer since 2003 after graduating from USC's prestigious Thornton School of Music with a Jazz studies major. As a San Jose California high school senior Chang was one of only two pianists selected for the San Francisco High School Grammy Band. Chang has gone on to receive critical acclaim for his many songs co-written and performed with Bublé including BMI's "Songwriter of the Year" Award in 2009. His first album of Christmas classics "Cold December Night" will be released November 15th 2011, and available on ITunes and http://www.Amazon.com.

About the Bublé Band Collaboration Several years ago, Buble Band members began writing their own arrangements of traditional Christmas songs to pass their time on the road during the holiday season. The band would gather in a hotel room or backstage and play each other their personal recordings of their arrangements that they had composed. These offstage collaborations inspired Alan Chang to produce an album of the best of the Bublé Band's arrangements. write your comments about the article :: © 2011 Jazz News :: home page |
