Jim Brickman is the most commercially successful instrumental pop pianist of the last two decades. A special place in his heart for Christmas has driven him to offer fans a holiday extravaganza every year. 2013 marked the 18th year for the annual holiday tour, which will feature songs from his latest holiday album, The Magic of Christmas. Before his December 12 performance at The Town Hall in New York City, he took time out speak with Ryan Book, who pulled double-duty, talking with him for both Hallels.com and MusicTimes.com.
Ryan for Hallels.com - What is the difference between your Christmas tour and your regular tours?
Jim - There's the set design, the cast and crew...Sometimes solo, sometimes it's with an orchestra. It's probably our biggest show. It's a big tradition for some people, but I wouldn't say it's gotten bigger technically (over the years).
