When, in April of this year, I reviewed the album ‘Soul To Soul’ from composer, producer and guitarist Christophe Goze I summed it up as being a fine example of everything that Goze does best, blending contemporary jazz with ambient and world vibes whilst leaning on the influences he has picked up while living in eight, yes eight, different countries.
The entire collection shimmered with a distinctly cinematic quality that betrayed the passion Christophe has for movie soundtracks and his brand new Christmas single ‘Far Away’ delivers more of the sublime same. Replete with soothing Christmas vibes yet not anchored in any way to the festive season this is the kind of tune that will play just as well in July as it ever would on December 25.
A swing jazz ballad with a real catchy melody this is quite simply a really lovely tune.
