"CELEBRATE THE HOLIDAYS WITH CRES" BY CRES O'NEAL

Cres O'Neal, the veteran multi-talented vocalist from Washington, D.C., offers a vibrant holiday recording, "Celebrate The Holidays With Cres". Ms.O'Neal displays a poignant, heart felt voice on this compilation of standard holiday favorites, certain to brighten your holiday mood and spirit! With the passing of Jazz greats and legends Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughn and Rosemary Clooney, it is reassuring to know we the listener still have amongst us a gifted standard bearer of this school of Jazz vocal tradition.

Cres O'Neal was raised in Washington, D.C. She was introduced to music by her
mother, Patricia O'Neal, a classical vocalist. Cres also pays tribute to Roberta Flack as an early influence. Cres O'Neal has been performing since the age of six, as a vocalist and a theatrical performer, performing in school plays and musicals. Her career spans many decades moving back and forth as a vocalist and a theatrical performer. This ability to jump back and forth from different performing genres has given Cres the confidence to develop into a mature, gifted and well rounded vocalist, who moves easily from all types of musical styles.

Leonard Hughes, from The Washington Post, says it best:" She has an unassuming demeanor; yet her unique vocals are soothing and explosive. Her powerful, captivating voice exudes emotion that draws you into her space".

If you are looking for a real holiday musical treat this holiday season, be sure to visit cresonealmusic.com to order this CD!

Thank you, Cres O'Neal, for a beautiful, uplifting recording!

Seldom do you meet a person who impresses you with both brilliance and kindness. Recently, I met such a person. Her name is Jaijai Jackson. I was drawn to her like a moth drawn to a flame. Her love of music is highly spiritual and her understanding of the business is remarkable. After many years in the music business, it is refreshing to meet someone like her.

Historians will research our arts to characterize our culture in the future. Contributions by those who tirelessly support our significant art forms will help to define us. Jaijai has become a key ingredient toward that future and her importance to the jazz world cannot be overstated.

Her devotion to the music and passion for keeping it alive makes our world a better place. Jaijai, thanks for being you.
