Holiday Music to Soothe the Savage Commuter.......2004-01-03
I am a sucker for syncopation, and the light, happy pizzicato counterpoint of "Jolly Old Saint Nicholas" delighted me. I can't hear the track without wanting to move to the competing rhythms.
Fortunately for me, I had this tape with me while stuck in a 2 1/2 Interstate traffic jam on a mid-December evening at rush hour. "Jolly Old Saint Nicholas" kept me sane.
"We Three Kings" is also a wonderful arrangement...there just isn't a bad song on the entire album.
V. Keith Mason is credited as the producer, arranger, and performer on the all-instrumental cassette I have under the Regency Music label (1993). The songs have a 'new age' and sometimes 'jazzy' feel and each is a showcase for a different style and mood. If there was ever anything like a Christmas Sandbox, Keith Mason was definitely playing in it, and from the sounds of it, having a blast!
The CD version is on my list of "must haves" for next Christmas season and beyond.
Traditional Favorites.......New Sound.......2003-11-02
There are 10 tracks all running between 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 minutes long.Included is a beautiful rendition of "Carol of the Bells",a more upbeat sounding "We Three Kings", and a mesmerizing "O Christmas Tree". The songs range from the fun "Jolly Old Saint Nicholas" to a moving "I Heard The Bells On Christmas Day".(See buying info for complete list of songs included).
The performing artist is V. Keith Mason and the CD, a nice quality, is by Regency Music. If your looking for something just a little different,with a good variety, the price is right to give this one a try.
Happy holdiays..and enjoy.....Laurie
