Jazz fans, this is easy. Not a jazz fan? Broaden your horizons. Eddie Allen will be your excellent tour guide; enjoy Jazzy Brass for the Holidays! -Carol Swanson Christmasreviews.com
The only bad part is that unless you know who it is, the cover leaves a lot to be desired so if you see this CD, know that it is jazz and know that it is fine jazz Christmas music. Maybe next time, Mr. Allen will not be afraid to put his name or show his face on the cover, for he is too good to be hidden or go incognito. - John Book Thisisbooksmusic.com
Since this Xmas looks like it’s going to suck for many, it’s time to get the holidays rolling with something different to take our collective minds off things. Allen takes it back to the golden age of smooth Marty Paich charts on brass dates for a holiday brass collection that sounds like it didn’t come from a marching band. Of course, it doesn’t hurt that he’s gathered some real jazz hitters around him and he has a great love for all things brass. You know the songs but they don’t really sound like anything you’ve heard before. A smart holiday set that might have some fat playing but certainly doesn’t show any schmaltz. - CHRIS SPECTOR MIDWEST RECORD
