Saxophonist Jess Gillam has released a series of three Christmas singles, and the one we're bringing you here is a wonderful version of the Carol of the Bells. It's been arranged by John Metcalfe for 16 instrumental – of all which are played by Gillam, on soprano, alto and baritone saxophone.

Along with the other two singles - Happy Christmas (War is Over), and Nutcracker Medley - the recording is being released by Decca, and has been mixed for Spatial Audio using the Dolby Atmos technology by Jonathan Allen. Enjoy!
