ALBUM

For this set of Christmas-related songs, Grover Washington, Jr. (mostly on soprano but also contributing some tenor and alto) sounds soulful but restrained. The renditions are lightly funky and atmospheric. Billy Childs is excellent on piano, and the musicianship of the other players is fine; the moods and grooves are of piece. listen. ~ Scott Yanow
