This year marks the 10-year anniversary of saxophonist Tim Warfield’s “Jazzy Christmas” recording. Selected by the New York Times as one of the “Top 20 Best Holiday Listens” of 2013, his recording vividly showcases a collection of traditional holiday songs, performed from a jazz perspective. The musical program features new takes on familiar material such as “The Little Drummer Boy” and “Silent Night,” but also lesser-known gems like Claude Thornhill’s “Snowfall.” Joining Warfield will be guest trumpeter Terell Stafford, pianist Neil Podgurski, vibraphonist Stefon Harris, bassist Rodney Whitaker, drummer Clarence Penn and vocalist Lucy Yeghiazaryan.

On July 1st, 2018, Tim earned the position of Assistant Professor & Coordinator of the Jazz Masters of Music Graduate Program at Temple University in Philadelphia, Pa. Tim’s latest recording “Jazzland” released on the Criss Cross Jazz label in 2018, features trumpeter Terell Stafford, organist Pat Bianchi, drummer Byron Landham and percussionist Daniel Sadownick.
