Holiday Album Reviews
The Christmas album This Christmas by Night is Alive is a delightful addition to any festive party, breathing new life into beloved classics like "Let It Snow" and "Sleigh Ride." Frank Lacy and Teddy Horangic's powerful vocals infuse each song with boundless cheer, creating delightful tracks such as "This Christmas" and "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas." With jazz-infused arrangements and captivating sax solos by Jeremy Pelt, this album is a joyous and meaningful addition to your holiday music collection.
Cypress Creek Jazz Band covers all the classics with their New Orleans ragtime-style jazz ensemble and each tune is bombastically joyful to listen to. It’s not hard to get lost within the rhythms and playful instrumentations when the entire band is having so much fun redefining these time-honored tunes.
