Cathi's Reviews -- 12/16/08
Los Lonely Boys – “Christmas Spirit” (Epic) A+Those fabulous Latino harmonies and tight musicianship to give a “gift to everyone” of Christmas wishes. So interesting and cool to see how a group like this can adapt their style to something like Christmas music. This is a great record despite the limitations of Christmas music. You’ve got some Chuck Berry rockin’…some boogie woogie and very cool and imaginative instrumentation…and oh those harmonies. Christmas music doesn’t HAVE to hurt!
Various – “Jazz & Blues Christmas” (Putumayo) A
Oooweee, why wasn’t Christmas music this swingin’ when I was young. A great bunch of R & B/jazzers put together great musicianship on some famous standards and some they just made up! Great for all mixes.
