4.0 out of 5 stars A Timeless and Inspirational Collection of Tunes
This is quintessential Grover and I could not be more pleased with the CD. One reviewer questioned whether or not this CD contains Christmas music. For background, read the liner notes included with the CD for Grover's thoughts on this issue. He indicates he wanted to create a CD that would be applicable at all times of the year - including the holiday season...

1.0 out of 5 stars This is Christmas music?
This has to be one of the most uninspirational and unenjoyable Christmas collections ever. Aside from the two tracks of "Breath of Heaven," the CD is filled with really horrible arrangements of some wonderful Christmas songs. We didn't even recognize "I Wonder as I Wander." Grover, go back to the drawing board on this one!

This review is from: Breath of Heaven - Holiday Collection (Audio CD)
This is quintessential Grover and I could not be more pleased with the CD. One reviewer questioned whether or not this CD contains Christmas music. For background, read the liner notes included with the CD for Grover's thoughts on this issue. He indicates he wanted to create a CD that would be applicable at all times of the year - including the holiday season. Particular emphasis on the cuts "Breath of Heaven" and "Jesu - Joy of Man's Desire". His rendition of one my favorites - "Jesu" - is beautiful and puts a lump in my throat every time I hear it. Contemporary jazz lover's - This CD is a must for your collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Joy to the World!, December 13, 2000
By 
Ristobee (South of LAX) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Breath of Heaven - Holiday Collection (Audio CD)
What a joyous CD! Holiday and human spirits are lifted higher and higher when listening to Grover Washington's "Breath of Heaven". No jingling bells, no halls being decked, no reindeers visiting mangers - just passionate, beautiful, inspiring music. When the holidays get too hectic, and you need to be reminded what the season is all about, this CD will put your heart, mind and soul into a joyous place.

4.0 out of 5 stars Classic Grover approach to some traditional Christmas tunes, November 3, 1999
This review is from: Breath of Heaven - Holiday Collection (Audio CD)
Rachel you blew it on this one. Did you know it was a jazz instrumental CD? This is classic Grover Washington, Jr. doing a mellow Christmas. A wonderful addition to your Christmas jazz collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Grover's last will and testament, December 12, 2002

This review is from: Breath of Heaven - Holiday Collection (Audio CD)
This was one of the last albums that Grover made. The instrumental arrangement on this album is superb. Grover sound good as he always does on cuts such as away in a manger. All true Grover fans must get this album.

This is a great inspirational cd. I could not wait to receive. I love everyone of the songs on it. You can play this cd anytime of the year. Open up a bottle of wine sit by the fireplace, and relax. Great cd.

4.0 out of 5 stars Christmas, Midnight, December 9, 2009

This review is from: Breath of Heaven (Audio CD)
Most of the Christmas albums we have could be labeled either "Christmas Party" or "Christmas Morning." Grover Washington jr.'s "Breath of Heaven" is perhaps the only one that can be labeled "Christmas, Midnight." It evokes that quiet time after everyone has gone to bed, snowflakes silently padding the ground, and you, alone with...

Enjoy.
