One thing is for sure – Christmas is not just one celebration among others, Christmas is THE ONE celebration of the year. There is no chance to escape … a fact known to many a good musician. Christmas albums – they’ve all done it. Facing this situation, you better bring a lot of sweet ingredients in order to create a completely new and completely different Christmas cake – especially one from Stockfisch.

Some stalwarts of Stockfisch records to this noble end have gathered around Eugene Ruffolo; white beards and scarlet coats they wear – but watch out for their guitars! And finally they achieved the impossible task of creating a Christmas SACD sounding like no other.

Our time is one of many scary phenomena – like supermarkets sporting gingerbread in September. In the light of this, this Stockfisch production is an exception of the first degree as far as music goes – and as far as emotiononal wellness goes at this special time of the year.

Many years ago Chris Jones and Günter Pauler conceptualized the release of a Stockfisch-Christmas-CD. By and by recordings were made – but the project was stopped abruptly by the death of Chris.

Now Eugene Ruffolo has accomplished this project: He swingle bells – there ain’t no bells sounding sweeter. If you are a nonbeliever, then go and listen to Stille Nacht as guitar instrumental or a Christmas blues. And very well that Chris Jones is not forgotten, still playing on two of these recordings.

Tradition and the courage of creative innovators – that’s Stockfisch’s gift to music lovers – given as a trademark professionally and at this Christmas time given from the heart. Christmas may be Christmas every year, it comes alive forever new and warms the heart – this is what music does, and certainly music like this.
