Additional Smooth Jazz Christmas Information
|
Cohesiveness is what separates this all-star Christmas release from the others. During the last four years, Dave Koz, vocalist Brenda Russell, pianist David Benoit, guitarist Peter White, and trumpeter Rick Braun have hit the road spreading holiday cheer among the smooth-jazz masses and their collaborative ease is palpable throughout these 14 tracks. Benoit is featured on "Hark the Herald Angels Sing," while Koz adds one of his best solos. Braun has the spotlight on "Little Drummer Boy," where Benoit shines too, and White highlights "Silent Night." All five players are credited for arrangements on most tracks, the craftiest of which is the '50's doo-wop of "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," where you can almost hear the Drifters singing in the background. Russell also does a holiday version of her hit "Get Here," which is as powerful now as it was 10 years ago during the Gulf War. --Mark Ruffin

What Customers Say About Smooth Jazz Christmas:

You know the songs and you, also, know that no one does it better than Dave Koz
His version of track 4, Silent Night, is my favorite. The music is upbeat and soothing. This is a classic cd that I will play for years.Mary I bought this cd the year it came out-in 2001. It is still my favorite Christmas cd.
He does a great job with using traditional Christmas songs and Jazzing them up. This cd is absolutely awesome.
It will make a nice addition to anyone's smooth jazz holiday collection. This is a good CD for the holidays. It offers a different twist on the classics.
I played it one time, ended up burning the 3 titles I did like to a Christmas CD, and will probably never listen to the original CD again. I usually love the music and styling and Dave Koz. I expected this to be exactly what the title said --- Smooth jazz, but it's more an assorted mix of styles.
