Product Description
From Amazon.com
With his GQ looks and warm, seductive brass tone, trumpet player Chris Botti has what it takes to command attention. This lovely recording will appeal to deeper jazz fans as much as to easy-listening and fusion aficionados. From brooding and bubbling arrangements of holiday standards to the original, radio-perfect ballad "Perfect Day" (featuring the talented horn man on vocals), Botti and his various ensembles deliver 13 tracks of comfort and joy, plus a taste of fleeting, seasonal melancholy that recalls Chet Baker. The more somber moods are brightened, however, by such merry fare as the Brazilian arrangement of "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town" and the swinging "Winter Wonderland." You probably won't hear a more romantic (or ironic) version of "O Little Town of Bethlehem," and when was the last time a Leonard Cohen tune ("Hallelujah") appeared on any Christmas disc? December is tasty throughout and highly recommended. --Martin Keller

An antidote to all the Christmas fluff,
By
This review is from: December (Audio CD)
If you like Chris Botti and you are in need of some quiet relaxation as an antidote to the Christmas fluff, get this one. Yes, it is commercial to an extent, but the taste is sweet without being too sweet.

A great Christmas Vocal album alternative,
By Lena (Edmonton, AB, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: December (Audio CD)
I think this album is a wonderful Christmas alternative. It has all the classics, but there is only one track that has any real vocals on it. I love Christmas music, but it is lovely to listen to the melody being sung by something other than a human voice.

Wonderful Christmas Album in July,
By A Customer
This review is from: December (Audio CD)
Chris Botti's combination of smokey jazz and the christmas spirit is brought togehter like no other trumpet player I've heard. It's hard to believe, but I only heard of Mr. Botti's music last year. Ever since, I have practically purchased all his albums, simply because he has that wonderful smooth relaxing sound that calms my spirit. In "December" he holds true to this same style. Creating an environment where you feel the joy of Christmas, inviting your spirit to rest in the 'Christmas Song', 'Perfect Day', and 'Silent Night', to mention a few. This album is so inspirational, that I'm listening to it in July, over and over again. I look forward to more beautiful music from Mr. Botti.
