Love it
I am big fan of Christmas Jazz and this collection puts a nice tropical swing in the traditional holiday favorites.
What a pleasant surprise
I love Christmas music, but frankly, I was getting a little bored with Bing, Dean, Perry, and even Placido and Wynton. Looking for something different? Maybe not until next Christmas, but this a super addition to anyone's Christmas music collection. The music smooth but lively. Easily my favorite CD this past Christmas.
Great!!
Awesome CD... one won't be disapointed with it -- a great and different approach to Christmas classics that is truly enjoybale!
Perfect Christmas Mood Music!
I received this as a gift, and popped it in to play while we decorated the Christmas tree. It's the perfect soundtrack for any Christmas task - writing cards, wrapping gifts, decorating the tree, baking cookies, and sipping egg nog by the fire. Creates the mood yet allows conversation, contemplation, reflection. The songs are zippy but true to the melody, the recording (Wildwood Recording, Brendan Harkin, Daniel Choi) is pristine. Jack Jezzro and Beegie Adair are wonderful on this. Easy to pop it in, push repeat, and chill. Very relaxing music for an otherwise frantic time of year.
"Bossa Nova Christmas ... Jack Jezzro ... Green Hill (2009)"
Green Hill Productions presents "BOSSA NOVA CHRISTMAS", featuring Jack Jezzro on guitar, Beegie Adair (piano), Lori Mechem (piano) and David Huntsinger (piano/keyboards), Leif Shires (trumpet), Denis Solee (tenor sax), Sam Levine (soprano sax), Roger Spencer and Jim Ferguson (bass), Chris Brown (drums), Eric Darken (percussion) - make up this wonderful group of musicians sending a message through music for that special time of the year.
Now about the music, which I might add gives the Holiday Season that certain glow --- Each musician shares their gift for all to hear and enjoy --- Beautiful packaging and arrangements from some of the best musicians out there today --- Enjoy the music with friends and family who will certainly remember this wonderful moment of the season.
