CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com Ray Brown's got the right idea about making Christmas music: swing it, shout it, blues it up and down, riff with it, and, above all, never let it become boring. With a handful of top-line jazz vocalists on board, and a sax and guitar sitting in with the trio, he and his cool company can't miss the mirth of improvising or the mistletoe magic of rejuvenating a baker's dozen seasonal standards. Dee Dee Bridgewater demonstrates her versatility on "Away in a Manager" while the sublime Diana Krall scats with the creeping bass line on "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town." With Nancy King, Etta Jones, Marlena Shaw, Vanessa Rubin, and Kevin Mahogany singing, Brown delivers the goods musically (just check out his lyrical work on "Rudolph."). --Martin Keller Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsVery Festive Geoffrey M Riley | Walnut Creek | 12/22/1999 (5 out of 5 stars) "Those familiar with Ray will expect the usual incredible musicianship and will not be disappointed. Also, the typical Ray arrangements where he teases you with a few riffs before sinking into a swinging groove - then back to the riff etc.This CD is particularly festive because of the mix of singers - 'The Christmas Song' by Kevin Mahogany alone is well worth the price of the CD.If you like great drumming, check out the Little Drummer Boy. These recordings are very much what you expect from Ray - many surprises. This CD will sit at the top of our Christmas CD stack along with Vince Guaraldi's Charie Brown Christmas and Frank's Christmas CD.-GR4" A must buy Kenneth Ngiau | 12/06/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "Looking for a christmas cd that has a great mix of singers, excellent bouncy jazzy tunes but not excessively jazzed up so much so that it doesn't sound like a christmas album at all (like some other jazz christmas albums)? Get this! I highly recommend it. I'll probably be listening to it long after christmas as well!" Ray does it again. Another stellar recording P. Pearce | 11/02/1999 (4 out of 5 stars) "Another excellent recording by "The Bassist." Ray continues to play super and has the ability to draw out the best in his young players. The addition of stars like Diana Krall, Shaw, Jones and Malone make this a top jazz Christmas recording of 1999. If you love Ray Brown's music and Christmas standards nicely arranged, get this one. It'll put you in the spirit!"
