Review

by Mark Sabbatini, Dec. 2004 review of unusual Christmas albums at AllAboutJazz.com.

"… one of those rare gems that combines innovation and stellar performances in a collection suitable for background music or the undivided attention of listeners … true jazz with the instrumentalists digging in with spice and flair … one of the best female vocalist Christmas albums I've encountered this year."
