In fact, his Brazilian take on \"Silent Night\", with singer Al Jarreau, sounds like an arrangement worked straight out of Ritenour's A Twist of Jobim sessions. Even with guitarists Joyce Cooling and Marc Antoine, his presence is noticeable. The other half of the album finds most of the artists doing their own thing, the best of which is the funky groove saxophonist Richard Elliot and keyboardist Jeff Lorber lay under \"God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen\". Like a few of the other tunes however, the production suffers from the frightening tendency to fade tracks prematurely in an obvious effort to appease smooth jazz radio. It should be noted that the Diana Krall track was previously released on a Christmas EP three years ago. --Mark Ruffin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39935251742817,"sku":"0731454983921","price":4.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_526633_1391075_jpg.jpg?v=1722416157","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/0731454983921-making-spirits-brigh","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
