As a Grammy-nominated guitarist and former member of the pop/rock group Jefferson Starship, Craig Chaquico has made quite a name for himself. With 20 gold records to his credit and a slew of successful new age and adult alternative hits, Holiday, Chaquico's first ever Christmas CD, spells success in a new musical genre. The recording showcases his legendary musicality and innovative crossover style on both seasonal favorites and inspired originals. In addition to the innovative musical interpretations, the artful lenticular CD cover doubles as a die-cut Christmas tree ornament! A new rendition of "Winterflame" is a standout in a three-song medley, while such favorites as "Angels We Have Heard on High," "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen," "Silent Night," and "White Christmas" get complete jazz/rock fusion makeovers that draw upon Chaquico's world of influences. "Nonesuch/Ladies Bramzel" features students and a teacher from the Siskiyou Waldorf School in a harp, vocals, and violin ensemble in which Chaquico plays piano. This is among the more enthralling songs on the program and could quite easily become a favorite in youth ensemble repertoires. Overall, Chaquico totally captivates his listeners with the intensity of his guitar and the new arrangements of traditional holiday music ~ Paula Edelstein

| | Lee Ritenour Overtime CD (2005)
Holiday CD music
$7.09 
Overtime is really two CDs in one. On the instrumentals, particularly "Bass City" and "Blue in Green," guitarist Lee Ritenour sounds a lot like Wes Montgomery and he leads his group (which features either Ernie Watts or Eric Marienthal on tenor) through some relatively straight-ahead numbers filled with soulful and creative playing. However the five vocals numbers are much more in the R&B/smooth vein and are largely throwaways despite the occasional presence of Ivan Lins. Clearly Ritenour was going for variety on this project but will probably only satisfy his greatest fans. The jazz listeners will be turned off by the vocals and the pop/smooth fans will probably only tolerate some of the ...

Holiday music CDs
$11.99 
With its seething, laid-back funk beats and steamy lyrics full of obvious references to romantic trysts, it doesn't get any sexier than Brian Culbertson's IT'S ON TONIGHT. A number of prominent crossover jazz artist lend their talents here. For example, the downtempo title track features a sensual R&B vocal from singer Will Downing. Later, saxophonist Boney James' mellifluous lines become the focus of "The Way You Feel." On "Secret Affair," relative newcomer Chris Botti plays Miles ...

| | Wayman Tisdale Decisions CD (1998)
Holiday music CDs
$10.39 
When Wayman Tisdale was ten-years-old, he lay his hands for the first time on the two items which would eventually determine the dual nature of his life: a basketball and a six string guitar. Sports fans know where the first one led -- to a successful all-star career in the NBA where the 6'9" Tisdale totaled 5,000 rebounds and played for the Indiana Pacers, Sacramento Kings and Phoenix Suns. Smooth jazz enthusiasts who know nothing of his hoop life made his MoJazz albums Power Forward and In the Zone -- recorded during his off-seasons in 1995 and 1996 -- Top Ten hits on the Billboard chart. While those titles gave the impression of an athlete dabbling in a side career, his Atlantic debut Decisions -- recorded as he hung up his Air Jordans after 12 years on the court -- gets down to more serious business. Playing the bass isn't just a hobby anymore. If the guest list at Tisdale's coming out party is any indication, earning the respect of his peers can be crossed off the worry list. Keyboardist Brian Culbertson, for one, proves a melodic soulmate, matching his high ivory tones note for note with Tisdale's plucky, lower register melody on "Breakfast with Tiffany," a bouncy tune that shows Tisdale's remarkable smooth jazz radio savvy. On "Ain't No Lovin'," Tisdale takes the melodic lead with both bass and airy ...
