Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com essential recording
Kenny G currently owns the smooth-jazz soprano sax with his popular, mainstream arrangements and compositions. And on his first holiday album, despite occasionally predictable charts and phrasing, the saxman delivers a thoughtful and moving collection of songs, spirituals, and hymns, with his trademark sound wedded to several ensemble and orchestral arrangements. The G-man stretches out in "Sleigh Ride" and "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town," but these are balanced by more serious pieces such as the lovely, original "Eternal Light ( A Chanukah Song)" and "Ave Maria." There's a genuine humbleness and inspired reverence in the playing here--as in, Kenny G really means it, man. After a ghost track, "The Christmas Song," the record closes with a haunting audio history of America's last century, which runs under a revisited version of "Auld Lang Syne." Summing up a turbulent and triumphant 100 years, this one is sure to put a lump in your throat and a tear in your eye. --Martin Keller

Customer Reviews:
Holiday Music You'll Never Forget.......2006-01-15
Faith by Kenny G is Christmas music that is soothing and relaxing. This all instrumental album will allow you and your family to enjoy the holiday season while listening to great music.
He did it again.......2005-12-26
This album arrived two days before Christmas 2001. It has classic songs on it especially the hidden tracks "Auld Lang Syne" and "The Christmas Song." Kenny G has Christmas in his name and especially if you like saxophone jazz music, this is a must to own.
I'm Not a Fan.......2005-12-12
I'm not a big Kenny G fan, but this album is pretty good. I don't care for the last track, the millenial mix, but the other songs on this album are nicely done. If you're looking for something a little jazzy to add to your holiday collection, I recommend this CD.
BEST CHRISTMAS CD EVER.......2005-09-23
HE PUTS HIS HEART AND SOUL IN THIS CD. PROBABLY HIS BEST WORK EVER.
.......2004-11-07
Kenny G. is phenomenal in his playing of the saxophone as well as the composing of the music. This is perhaps the best, most beautiful and most relaxing CD in my collection, along with his other holiday CDs. If there is one track on this disc that blew me away, it is The Millenium Mix of Auld Lang Syne. This is brilliantly and masterfully composed and performed - absolutely beautiful! In every way. Yes, I too, was wiping away quite a few tears while listening to this moving and powerful piece. It is unlike anything else I've heard. The plain, regular version is also outstandingly beautiful. There just aren't enough good things I can say about this CD so I will just close by saying to you: Buy this one, you will NOT regret it!
