"Rejoice! A Christmas Celebration" is the first instrumental Christmas recording by Ian Oakley. It features Ian on the piano and other keyboards accompanied an array of fine musicians. There is something for every taste: from the foot-tapping big band "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" to the lullaby-like "Away in a Manger" to the high-energy title track, "Rejoice!" These arrangements are all very unique and will certainly engage you as you listen. About Ian Oakley: Ian Oakley was born in London, England.
