Music reviews of Smooth Jazz Christmas

Music Review: Excellent Album, but.....
Rating: 5 Stars

One track that is somewhat a distraction is "Get Here." The song gets a jazz treatment here, the Fender Rhodes keyboard of the original is replaced with an actual grand piano and a tender sax solo. Brenda's vocal line is not much different, save for pregnant pauses and ad-libbing. To make this song work a little better, a rewrite of the lyric to include the holiday season would have been beneficial. Dave again closes this album as he did his last holiday album with "T'was The Night Before Christmas" and it's funny. Brenda Russell does a verse imitating a Brooklyn accent and the arrangement is reminiscent of a 50's beatnik poetry reading. Listen closely and you can hear an audience snapping their fingers whispering "cool, cool."
