Editorial Reviews
From Jazziz
Hawaiian saxophonist Michael Paulo brings a uniquely Western jazz upbringing to his new album, Sax for Christmas. Drawing inspiration from Christmas songs classical ("God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen"), Latin ("Feliz Navidad"), and traditional ("The First Noel,") Paulo definitely sounds like someone who grew up in both a musical family - his father was a pianist, his mother a singer - and in an island setting. The fledgling saxophonist turned down a musical scholarship to prestigious North Texas State University to tour with Hawaiian pop band Kalapana. In the early '80s, he moved to Los Angeles, and became Al Jarreau's longtime saxman shortly thereafter. Sax for Christmas is his sixth album and features guitarist Carlos Rios, bassist Freddie Washington, and percussionist Sheila E.

His emotive playing and endearing style have never failed to capture the hearts of fans all over the world.

The Ultimate Christmas Mood Music.......2005-12-15
Imagine your favorite holiday music played with a gentle, sophisticated jazz feel that brings to it the joy and sensuous emotion that makes jazz the ultimate "mood music". This cd is the soundtrack for that kind of Christmas. Nan Mishkin is one of music's most accomplished arrangers (Grammy nomination for a Sinatra arrangement, composer for TV and movies), and she is a master at multi-layered, sophisticated emotion. She has arranged the acclaimed "Jazz at the Movies" series (if you can still get them!) and has arranged this subtle mood masterpiece. This melodic jazz captures the happiness, optimism and humanity of the best of what is Christmas. I've been playing and reviewing music on the air since 1976, and I recommend this as THE jazz CD for you and your friends. This is Dom Perignon for your ears.
Great Holiday Tunes, can play over and over.......1998-12-13
They play cuts from this cd on my DISHNETWORKS Satellite dish on the Holiday Music Channel. Every cut is great for background music at a party or playing it while wrapping paper and decorating the tree. Highly recommended!!

A "must have" CD!.......2000-12-21
I've been listening to it continuously since I got it. It's smooth and perfect for the season. Many Christmas CDs get tiring to listen to. You won't with this one. Definitely worth it! Michael Paulo's talent is apparent. I enjoy his other CDs as well, especially "My Heart & Soul."
ANOTHER GREAT RELEASE FROM MICHAEL PAULO!.......2000-11-30
Michael Paulo has proven yet again what a talented...passionate musician he is. He's a musician who always plays from his heart and soul...which is probably how he came up with the title of his 4th release...My Heart and Soul...which I believe is one of the best songs, if not THE BEST song that Michael has ever written. With this Christmas CD...Michael has taken these Christmas songs and put his own sense of style and flair to each piece. I'm listening to "Sax for Christmas" as I am writing this review...and I can just picture Michael playing these songs live...in an enthusiastic and energetic way that only Michael can do. He again on this CD... as on all his previous releases... has major talent playing with him...he even had his father...Rene Paulo...an excellent pianist be a part of this project. I know with past CDs...Michael has done in-store concerts to promote his CDs...I'm sure I saw a list of concerts on THE WAVE website for those of you in Southern California who are interested in hearing his music live. I've had friends who have also seen him do in-stores in the San Diego and Bay areas as well. Michael Paulo's talent will entertain you whether live or on CD...this CD is a MUST have. To those of you who are already Michael Paulo fans...you need to add this to your collection. I know my house will be filled with the sounds of "Sax for Christmas" during this and every holiday season. I've been a Michael Paulo fan for over 20 years...since his days with Kalapana. When Michael pursued his career as a smooth jazz artist...I knew I wouldn't be disappointed. This Christmas CD is some of Michael's best work...he amazes me with his talents time and time again. For you smooth jazz fans...you will not be disappointed with Michael Paulo's "Sax for Christmas" or with any of his other 5 releases.
