The title track of this CD was written by pianist David Benoit himself. It's a nice, modest song, accompanied by Gary Novak (drums) and John Patitucci (bass). These three sometimes play firmly, at other times very sensitive to the atmosphere and calmly the well-known Christmas repertoire. Benoit can also be heard with Earl Klugh (guitar), Pat Kelley (guitar), Brad Dutz (percussion) and Tony Morales
… (drums). The repertoire includes: "Santa Claus is coming to town", "Angels we have heard on high", "Jesu, Joy of man's desiring", "Do you hear what I hear", "The first noël" and " The Christmas song ". "Christmas time is here" is sung by Michael Franks. Special is the piano duet of Benoit together with Dave Brubeck in "Hark, the herald angels sing". _more
