"I heard this on vinyl about 15 years ago, and have been searching for it ever since. I was thrilled to finally find it. It evokes lots of wonderful memories for me, which makes the music that much sweeter"
More popular than any bottle of wine

"I brought this CD to one December gathering of our monthly wine tasting group. Every year, I start getting reminders in October to bring it again. My friends who hear this album once a year look forward to it like the folks who catch the yearly airing of "A Charlie Brown Christmas" (that better known holiday jazz success).
Unlike most Christmas jazz albums, this works wonderfully from both standpoints. This is truly soulful jazz playing, not "Chet lite". And as holiday tunes the renditions are only improved by the right degree of improvisation. Cool jazz for sure, but with emotion so appropriate to Christmas music.
