About Jane Monheit's compact disc The Season, Steve Morse writes for the Boston Globe: "Monheit skillfully offers a jazz-pop reworking of holiay fare such as Donny Hathaway's 'This Christmas' (with a tasteful horn section) and David Foster's utopian 'My Grown Up Christmas List,' which asks for an end to all wars. The album also smartly incorporates a vibes solo, a string section, and some text by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow on 'I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day.' A first-rate CD." |
