| | Customer Reviews: Way beyond anything I expected (26 December 2009)I bought this for my partner as we're both JT fans and I wasn't expecting a great deal. I thought that it's just another Christmas record but James's great voice will maybe save it. How wrong can a person be, it's just superb !. The CD was mainly produced and arranged by Dave Grusin and the arrangements are just fantastic. So many top-rank musicians that it's difficult to name them all but the rhythm section of Jimmy Johnson on bass and Vinnie Colaiuta on drums, is unbeatable. Great support also from John Pizzarelli and Michael Landau on guitars. Dave Grusin also contributes consistently inventive piano playing. I would say that the arrangements transform each track and even add life to old chestnuts like 'Go Tell it on the Mountain'. James's sense of humour is always there too. My personal favourites are Santa Claus is coming to Town, Jingle Bells and Some Children See Him. I'm not remotely religious, in fact quite the opposite but this is simply great music. Whoever envisaged doing Jingle Bells as a funky blues complete with slide guitar and a marvellous guitar solo, deserves a medal. It's just brilliant and I just broke down in laughter as it progressed. James's voice is consistently excellent and is surprisingly adaptable on these mainly jazzy interpretations. We played this CD non-stop for all of Christmas day and I would unreservedly recommend it. Buy this (22 February 2009)This is a fantastic and seasonal cd. I love getting this out at Christmas, buy this cd, it is brilliant.  you got a friend (01 February 2009)I gave this CD to my ex-wife and she was very pleased with it. Pleasant Xmas listening, a nice change from Noddy Holder and Roy Wood. I just know ti's going to be good. (31 January 2009)Well I,ve read all the reviews ,just ordered the CD and I just know I cannot go wrong, James Taylor wow,one of the best. James Taylor at Christmas (29 January 2009)We absolutely love the way James Taylor sings...he brings Christmas to life with this CD and of all the Christmas CDs, this one is my favourite. You cannot go wrong with purchasing this one! A James Taylor fan!!! |
