In addition to his work with several North Star label groups, guitarist Beaudoin brings to the table work with such jazz notables as David Grisman and with the New Guitar Summit where he is joined by Jay Geils and Duke Robillard. On this album, he also has the benefit of the excellent jazz musicians of the Boston Jazz Ensemble, including Paul Schmeling, Jeff Stout, Dick Johnson. Fred Lipsius and the venerable Alan Dawson anchoring the rhythm section. The group shows that they can add a little funk to a revered Christmas tune such as "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" without damaging the solemnity of the occasion the song represents. Most of the blues funk belongs to Lipsius' alto. Similarly, Stout, Schmeling and Beaudoin do a lilting "Silver and Gold", rewarding that tune with a bit of a beat. But one of the albums compelling tracks is a reverent rendition of "Oh Little Town of Bethlehem" by another veteran player, clarinetist Dick Johnson switching off and on with Beaudoin making this track more than five minutes of exquisite holiday music. Schmeling offers a couple of innovative choruses here playing over Bob Nieske's bass. Stout's vibratoless rendition of "O Holy Night" is appropriately serene and reverential, but with a slight bite to it and Beaudoin's clean stringed "White Christmas" is the other show stopper on this fine alb +----------------------------------+ |------------ tRACK iNFORMATION ------------| +----------------------------------+ 01 Deck The Halls 2:38 02 The Christmas Song 6:05 03 Greensleeves 4:08 04 Silent Night 4:20 05 Silver And Gold 2:38 06 White Christmas 3:34 07 Winter Wonderland 4:40 08 O Holy Night 3:02 09 Have Yourself A Merry Little C 3:53 10 God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen 3:18 11 O Little Town Of Bethlehem 5:35 12 Oh Tannenbaum 3:22 +----------------------------------+ |------------ gROUP mEMBERS ------------| +----------------------------------+ Rippers: Umm Yea We Have a few ;) +----------------------------------+ |------------ gROUP gREETS ------------| +----------------------------------+ The Scene!!
