Editorial Reviews

Smooth Jazz News, December 2000

A warm, wonderful, festive holiday collection. 10 classics are uniquely arranged and passionately sung. Graceful, . . . irresistible, . . . precious.

Slim succeeds when he plays it straight-as on a heartfelt sweep through "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" (lush piano and gentle sax)---

and when he's hamming it up (rapping "Twas the Night Before Christmas" during "Sleighride").

Product Description

5.0 out of 5 stars Gotta dance!, October 17, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: All I Want for Christmas (Audio CD)

A friend at work has been trying to get me to listen to Slim Man for years. I wasn't too interested because I'm not exactly a "smooth jazz" fan. Mostly just too boring. Ho hum. Prefer Latin, dance, R&B

BUT, I have learned that Slim Man is NOT boring. When my friend got her hands on this Chistmas CD, and FORCED me to listen, well, I don't have the words to express how it affected me.

I couln't stop listneing. With every song I heard something new, something more enticing, more moving. And by the time we came to the last couple of songs, I just couldn't stop dancing. Dancing to Chistmas music!

Just wait til you hear the cha cha cha on "Feliz Navidid". And the swing on "Blue Christmas". Oh yeah.

Where did this guy come from? And how come I've never heard of him before? He's incredible. This is my first Slim man CD but now I want MORE Slim Man. All I want for Christmas is all the Slim man I can get. Oh yeah!

5.0 out of 5 stars Melts me, October 24, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: All I Want for Christmas (Audio CD)

Oh my, Oh my, Oh my. Slim Man has really outdone himself on this one. The style and grace of this recording will surely go down in history as one of the greatest Christmas albums ever.

If you don't know Slim Man, what a great introduction this album would be to his unique - sweet - sensual - semi-jazz - semi-pop approach. I'm surprised he's not up there in the top 40. He's way more appealing than any other male vocalist out there these days.

I happened upon him in 1995 in San Francisco when he had just released his first album END OF THE RAINBOW; I saw him live at the Great American Music Hall and couldn't believe I'd never heard of him before. He is an awesome entertainer (not just a pretty face: great voice, great moves, very sexy on stage. Not to mention the fact that he write all his own material and produces himself. A "total package".) So anyway I bought END OF THE RAINBOW at the show, and it has been played thousands of times over and over with great enjoyment.

But this is even better. My favorite cut (hard to pick, they're all great and the album gets better as it goes on) is probably , well, either White Christmas, Blue Christmas, Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas, or . . . oh darn I love them all. But be sure to check out tracks 2 and 6 where Slim Man does a Nat King Cole thing and it's BEAUTIFUL.

If you DO know Slim Man, I must say I don't think he's ever sounded better, that beautiful voice, that sensual style. Oh my.

I know what I want for Christmas!!!
