5.0 out of 5 stars
Even Scrooges will love it!,
By Joseph J. Schultz "poetographer1967" (Plymouth, Indiana United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Have Yourself A Sherry Little Christmas (Audio CD)
Want to keep Christmas in your heart all year long? Pick up this album. As a recovering Scrooge, I'm not easily swayed by Christmas music, but Have Yourself A Sherry Little Christmas celebrates music as much as it celebrates the holiday. In arranging mainstays such as "Angels We Have Heard On High" and "What Child Is This," Sherry K smartly pulls us into Christmas mode with just enough familiar melody, then provides the twist that shows us a song from a whole different perspective. Titled differently, originals like "Following A Star" and "Destination: Bethlehem" could fit well on any non-holiday contemporary jazz piano album, but in this context, they explore the deeper, more contemplative aspects of the Christmas story without losing hope or accessibility. As on previous albums, Sherry K continues to deliver on the stories promised by her original song titles - a rarity in modern instrumental releases. Even on "Favorite Time Of Year" - which a Scrooge like me may approach with dread - Sherry remains true to her jazzy self, and the song is joyous without being treacly.
I suspect several of these selections will be leaking from my Christmas mix into year-long rotation, and isn't that our hope for the spirit of Christmas? |
