An amazing Christmas album:
As expected from one of the most renown vocal artists in the world today; an album of ultra high integrity and quality. The album treats the listener to a variety of Christmas songs and carrols, performed with all the finesse and bravura this gentleman is all about, with brilliant musical accompaniment. Even the recording leaves little to be desired, on any level of sound system, a Hi-Fi tidbit. Enjoy!
A STELLAR & TIMELESS XMAS CD!!:
Listen Up Music Lovers!!--This holiday collection by the
legendary Al Jarreau is a must have for the 2008 and
beyond holiday collections!
I played this one, Ledisi and Rahsaan Patterson's to death
and turned at least 50 people I knew on to it!
Yes, it's that good!
I love every track on here from the production and arranging,
to the awesome and eternal vocal technique of one of jazz music's
great male vocalists of the last 50 years!--Mr. Al Jarreau.
