“I wanted to create fresh new arrangements of the timeless Christmas classics with which I grew up. I wanted to raise the bar for Christmas music made in Canada. I wanted to create something that is 100% Canadian - singers, musicians, arrangements. And, considering that Gospel music was born in America, I wanted to create something that would make the Americans (and everybody else) say ‘Wow! This came out of Canada!?!?!’” -- Andrew Craig
To realize his vision, musician, producer and broadcaster Andrew Craig enlisted the help of Canada’s Queen of Jazz and Blues, Jackie Richardson, along with powerhouse vocalists Alana Bridgewater (“Killer Queen” in the Mirvish production of “We Will Rock You”), Kellylee Evans (2007 Canadian Smooth Jazz Awards “Female Vocalist of the Year”), and up-and-comer Chris Lowe. Andrew added to this package the Juno-award winning Sharon Riley and Faith Chorale, and five of the country’s most-sought-after session/live musicians. It was, quite simply, a recipe for musical magic.
“The Gospel Christmas Project” CD features all-new studio recordings of these arrangements: 13 breathtaking renditions of the world’s most-loved Christmas carols, crossing a multitude of genres and styles, guaranteed to uplift, inspire and excite. This CD will become a Christmas classic for years to come.

Gospel Christmas Project, November 14, 2007
Review By:Laura McNeilly Nat King Cole might have to wait his turn for the CD player this year! I have never heard such exciting renditions of the traditional carols. The combination of stellar vocal and instrumental performances and the exceptional arrangements make me want to experience the CD again and again regardless of whether its Christmas or not! You don't have to be Christian to feel exhalted by this music. Very inspirational and joyous! Outstanding!
