Perhaps the most important spiritual tradition in the Western world is Christmas - and music is a crucial part of it. Around the world, Christmas carols form a genre of their own, linked to the festive and joyous community like no other. Christmas music has also always exerted a magical attraction on many jazz musicians. Trombonist, singer and producer Nils Landgren, one of the most versatile, creative and successful jazz musicians in Europe, dreamed for many years of celebrating a musical Christmas in the company of good friends and playing a selection of the many very different Christmas songs he has encountered throughout his career. The result was "Christmas With My Friends", released in 2006, which soon gained a reputation among fans and critics alike as one of the most beautiful Christmas records ever recorded. This was the start of a whole series that is released every two years and also goes on tour regularly. In 2025, the time has finally come again: a new "Christmas With My Friends" album will be released and presented live as part of a tour.
