cool song: the jesus gift
Ever hear of the song "The Jesus Gift" by Gilbert Martin? It was driven into our head with a railroad spike every Christmas at my church, but very few others have heard it. I've never heard it out shopping.
Which is a shame, because it's a great song, with a catchy uplift to the melody. The Jazz Protagonists play it every Christmas whenever we get the chance. It sets very well to jazz, getting that warm Christmassy feeling that only a jazz combo can get. What if Vince Guaraldi had never discovered the perfect marriage of Christmas and jazz?
Here's a recording of us playing it at a recent jazz party, in Mp3 or RealAudio.
