Marry Me at Christmas is a medium-swing big band tune with a clear nod to the Basie tradition. A driving groove supports a virtuosic tutti horns section, while the violin section adds a catchy counter-melody that brings a playful twist to the arrangement.
Behind the swing and sparkle lies a humorous take on modern rituals and expectations surrounding “special dates” — wrapped in festive energy, elegance, and a touch of irony.
Produced, arranged, composed, and performed by Marco Santilli Rossi.
