Village Square Music presents one of the best kept secrets around...but the word, or should say music is getting out there ~ if you haven't discovered Beegie Adair yet, hold on tight because you're in for a terrific ride on a one horse open sleigh...musical journey for the Holiday season "Quiet Christmas", featuring Beegie's completely first solo album...and what better time to debut than during the yuletide season.

Adair's performances are impeccable, the renditions are simply brilliant ~ "BRING A TORCH, JEANETTE, ISABELLA/THE FIRST NOEL", "A CHILD IS BORN", "LO, HOW A ROSE E'ER BLOOMING", "O COME O COME EMMANUEL/WHAT CHILD IS THIS", "IN THE BLEAK MID-WINTER", "THE CHILDREN'S PRAYER (from Hansel and Gretal)" and "SILENT NIGHT", superb musicianship and as always, Beegie's light touch on the keys is why you purchased the album in the first place.

Unforgettable array of Christmas carols and yuletide songs to share with friends and members of your family...Beegie has the interpretation we've come to love...each track a favorite, plus the arrangements are heartwarming...Beegie's timing is perfection, sensitivity to the melody with outstanding sound quality...if you enjoy piano and mood setting background music, then this Beegie Adair Christmas solo has your name on it...her signature style is something to hear and savor...please sit back in a comfortable chair and listen to an outstanding accomplished jazz pianist make each song her own...just the way you like 'em!

Delightful Cheer
Unlike much Christmas music that hits you over the head with Holiday Cheer, this music pulls you back to your younger years when Christmas was not so commercial. Good for any age it just flat out puts you in the mood for the holidays. A tree, Kids and Pets, loved ones and the comfort and warmth of GOOD christmas music.
I LOVE IT.

Easy on the ears
I originally heard this music while shopping in a pleasant children's stre in Spring Lake, New Jersey. I inquired from the proprietor as to who the artis(s) were and she told me she had some of Beegie Adairs CD's for sale. She got a stock of them after many similar inquiries. I have now purchased all of her CD's including this lovely Christmas album.
