(NASHVILLE, Tenn.) Sept. 22, 2011--Longtime Superchick guitarist Dave Ghazarian trades rock riffs for jazz piano on his first solo project, available Nov. 8. Releasing under the abbreviated name David Ian, David Ian Vintage Christmas provides a timeless soundtrack for the holiday season.

Having begun a lifelong love affair with jazz in his early teens, Ian drew inspiration for the project from those classic jazz and Christmas LPs of the 1950s. The result is a set of familiar Christmas classics with relaxed, swinging arrangements reminiscent of perennial favorites like A Charlie Brown Christmas.

Ian comments, “I tried to bring the arrangements within reach of the listener; I want them to feel like they’re sitting by the fire in their living room listening to these melodically driven, mid-century arrangements. Each instrument, tone and note on this recording was purposefully chosen in an attempt to take the listener to that time and place.”

A blend of instrumental and vocal versions, David Ian Vintage Christmas features a small jazz trio comprising Ian (piano, guitar), Jon Estes (upright bass), and Brian Fitch (drums) augmented by guest vocalists Acacia (of the sister duo Tal and Acacia) and Andre Miguel Mayo. Songs include Christmas staples “Hark the Herald Angels Sing,” “Santa Claus is Coming to Town,” “Silent Night,” “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” and “Let It Snow.” Ian also penned an original song for the record, “Christmas Time with You,” inspired by the long-distance relationship with the woman who became his wife in 2009.

“I believe the meaning of Christmas to be one of hope in someone greater than ourselves; in the birth of a Savior who ensures that the world need not bear its burdens alone,” he says. “My objective with this project is to help direct the listener to that sense of hope.”

David Ian Vintage Christmas will be available via digital music outlets and Christian retail stores. For more information visit www.iantunes.com

Born in Toronto, Canada to Armenian immigrant parents, David Ian came early to music, beginning classical piano study at age five. Ian performed in a number of garage bands throughout junior high and high school, and after graduating from college became lead guitarist in the acclaimed band Church of Rhythm. That group eventually morphed into the even more successful rock act Superchick, which has sold nearly one million albums and earned a 2009 Grammy Award nomination for Best Rock/Rap Gospel Album.
