GCSU Jazz Band’s Debut Spotify Single: A Holiday Must-Hear!

GCSU Jazz Band’s Debut Spotify Single: A Holiday Must-Hear!

The Georgia College & State University Jazz Band has hit an exciting milestone—our first-ever single, God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, is now available on all streaming platforms! Released Dec. 6, 2024, this holiday classic is reimagined with a fresh, jazzy twist by senior music education major Preston Raburn, who also shines as the tenor sax soloist. The track was recorded in November, brought to life by recording engineer Bryce Raburn’s masterful mixing, which beautifully captures the band’s energy and artistry. Sophomore trombonist Landon White joins the spotlight, delivering a standout solo that adds depth and charm to the arrangement. Don’t miss adding this vibrant track to your holiday playlist! By streaming it, you’ll not only enjoy some incredible music—but you’ll also support the GCSU Jazz Band program, as all proceeds go directly to funding our future endeavors.
