Customer Reviews

A cool Christmas for hep jazz cats!
...or something like that. Makes you want to trade in your black turtleneck and beret for green and red ones. Seriously, all three volumes of the GRP Christmas collection are very good and balance out a classical and popular Christmas music collection nicely. Very accessible to someone who is not ordinarily a jazz fan. Sometimes the same old Christmas standards can fade out of our attention because of familiarity...but on the GRP collections, they get fresh new treatments and it makes you pay attention and hear new possibilities. Also, since most are instrumental, I play them in my office as background music. Many people visiting my office have been curious about the music, and want to get it. These collections are not easily available in retail stores, so send 'em to amazon dot com! (I do not get paid a commission for saying so!) Enjoy, hep cats!

The best of the three!
Hard to imagine this CD is more than ten years old. Thanks to modern technology you can't wear a CD out like a LP if you could I would be on third or fourth copy. The opening track of the Little Drummer Boy sets the tone perfect for the album. Followed by Tom Scotts version of Merry Little Christmas which has become a staple of every department store in the country. I had never heard of Diane Schurr until I heard her sing the Christmas Song and have loved her voice since. The rest of the CD is pure christmas listening joy, by far the best of the three GRP Christmas albums.

A shame this is out of stock as of this writing but hopefully it will be back in production from GRP. Hey maybe we'll get a GRP Christmas Collection 4? One can only hope!

THE BEST CRP CHRISTMAS CD
I OWN THIS CHRISTMAS CD FOR A LONG TIME AND LOST IT. BUT BY FAR THIS IS THE BEST CHRISTMAS CD EVER. THE LITTLE DRUMMER BOY SOLD ME ON THIS CD WITH THE OTHER TWO GRP CHRISTMAS COLLECTION CD'S
YOU HAVE THE BEST CHRISTMAS MUSIC TO ENJOY FOR YEARS TO COME.

THANKS
