HAMILTON Tony Winner Leslie Odom, Jr. to Release SIMPLY CHRISTMAS Album

Award-winning vocalist Leslie Odom Jr. will follow up his hugely successful self-titled jazz debut with a stunning album of newly reinterpreted holiday classics entitled Simply Christmas, to be released November 11, 2016 on S-Curve Records.

The new collection will feature Odom Jr.'s soulful jazz versions of holiday Christmas gems including "I'll Be Home For Christmas," "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," "The Christmas Song," "First Noel" and many more.

"I get asked about recording a Christmas album a few times a week. I hope we've made a record you'll gladly add to your collection of holiday classics," says Leslie Odom Jr. "' Simply Christmas' was a real pleasure to sing and create. It's filled with everything that is special to me about the holidays."

Odom Jr.'s self-titled debut jazz album on S-Curve Records won over critics and fans upon release this past June, and debuted at #1 on Soundscan Current and Traditional Jazz Charts.

Leslie Odom, Jr. recently completed his run as the original Aaron Burr in the smash hit Hamilton, a role that won him a Tony & Grammy Award, and has since been performing an exciting array of shows in support of his album. Highlights include a sold-out three-week residency at The McKittrick Hotel in NYC, a performance with Phil Collins at the US Open on opening night, a performance of his single "Autumn Leaves" as part of the stellar lineup at the Tony Bennett 90th Birthday Concert special taping for NBC at Radio City, and his LA concert debut this past Monday.
