Begagnad
Gitarristen Russ Freeman var ledare för den framgångsrika gruppen The Rippingtons, men har här tagit ledigt från den och kör ett antal välkända julsånger samt ett par egna låtar.
"...Freeman, who plays keyboards, guitar, bass, drums, percussion and even mandolin on the date, leads a variety of musicians through funky jams and also takes a few of the more reverent interpretations by himself. With guest appearances from saxophonist Jeff Kashiwa, keyboardist Bob James and a hot horn section (most notably on a salsafied version of "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen"), Freeman clearly enjoyed this "holiday" from the Rippingtons. The overall results are lightweight, funky, melodic and reasonably pleasing as superior background music...." (Scott Yanow, allmusic.com)
