Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com essential recording
Kenny G's 1994 album of economically arranged standards, which also happens to include Brahms's "Lullaby" and his own "The Chanukah Song," pales in comparison to his other holiday record, the highly creative and memorable Faith. That said, Miracles will appeal to some for its easy (some would say lazy) jazz renderings on G's soprano horn. The most inventive thing on the CD is a witty reading of "Greensleeves" wedded to Dave Brubeck's "Take 5." For sheer commercial appeal and enough romantic notes to keep the fireside roaring, Kenny G will make a good Santa for his many, many fans. --Martin Keller

Kenny G delivers in this holiday CD!.......2007-04-23

I have admired the instrumental talents of Kenny G. This selection of Christmas favorites is just a nice addition to anyone's collection of favorites. My favorite on this C.D. is Winter Wonderland! Enjoy!!

Miracles: The Holiday Album, Kenny G.......2007-03-08

I had a robbery at my home and several of my favorite CDs were stolen. Two of my favorites, Miracles and Faith by Kenny G, were taken and I could not find either of these in any store. Amazon.com came through for me and I was able to get these two easy to listen to CDs replaced.

Like light snow outside.......2006-12-26

I am not a Kenny G fan as a result of his smooth jazz, however, once a year this disc makes evryone in our house feel in the Christmas "spirit." My father passed away several years ago(at Christmas time) and this really reminds me of him as he loved it and would brag about how good it was. He would play it and I would humor him but evetually I would break down and really like it. The copy I listen to was his. It is as beautifull as the Christmas season. The standards are all here for you to think about Christmas past. The mellow sax fits into the peaceful setting of the themes in the songs very nicely. There is not much deviation from the standards in their presentation so people of all ages can enjoy the songs of Christmas. Everyone hums along or sings the words to the well known instrumentals. Comprised of mostly standards played tradionally, the exception might be "Greensleeves" which is the most "pure jazz" sound on this disc. Now John Coltrane he's not but for a popish sound it is cool and "jazz" enough and as close to "swinging jazz " as it gets here.If you want something most people can enjoy at Christmas than this is a good choice. Check it out you may like it in spite of Kenny G. Now if he only could cut that hair. Merry Christmas to all and may the peace and goodwill of the season stay in your heart throughout the year.

Wait, isn't he Jewish?.......2006-11-28

This was Kenny G's first Christmas album. On it, he plays light jazz versions of Christmas songs, plus a couple of originals and..."Brahms Lullaby", of all things. Kenny plays soprano saxophone, for the most part, which is the wimpiest saxophone of all. On "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" and "Silver Bells", he plays tenor saxophone, which helps out a bit. "Silver Bells" is actually the best song on the CD, for what it's worth. He actually almost gets a groove on. For the most part, though, this is "mellow" jazz. I prefer jazz that swings, which this most assuredly does not. But if you like mellow jazz, you'll probably dig it.

By FAR the BEST Christmas Cd EVER!!!.......2006-11-08

This cd is by FAR my FAVORITE Christmas cd!!! It is all instrumental (which is nice and calming). It has great songs and it SOOO nice when you want to have that cozy christmas feel at your house. (I think "MIRACLES" is the best Christmas album of Kenny G's... so if you are wondering which one to get, THIS would be the one!! Everyone who hears this cd, LOVES IT!!
BUY IT!! YOU'LL LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!
