Chris Bennett has never pretended to be someone who sticks to straight-ahead jazz 100 percent of the time; she sings jazz, but she also performs a lot of pop -- and for Bennett, pop can mean either adult contemporary or traditional pop of the pre-rock variety. Some jazz enthusiasts wish she would record straight-ahead jazz exclusively, but in fact, Bennett is appealing in both jazz and non-jazz settings. When I Think of Christmas is the Los Angeles resident's first Christmas album, and once you get past the Christmas-oriented lyrics, it is fairly typical of her musical outlook -- one that is relevant to jazz as well as pop. Bennett's more jazz-oriented side asserts itself on the familiar "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town," Claude Thornhill's '40s classic "Snowfall" (which receives a bossa nova treatment), and a surprisingly bluesy arrangement of "Do You Hear What I Hear," which alludes to Miles Davis' "All Blues." But there's no getting around the fact that much of the album is straight-up pop, which could be anything from a '40s-like performance of Irving Berlin's "White Christmas" to the adult contemporary approach she favors on the sentimental "It Wouldn't Be Christmas" (a Bennett original). If Bennett feels the need to divide her time between jazz and pop, there is no reason why she shouldn't -- as long as she does so tastefully, that is. And even though a few of the tracks are a little too schmaltzy for their own good, When I Think of Christmas is tasteful more often than not and paints a generally likable, if imperfect, picture of Bennett's jazz and non-jazz talents. ~ Alex Henderson
Grammy-nominated jazz singer/songwriter Chris Bennett has released her long-awaited Christmas CD - "When I Think Of Christmas". Here's what Carol Swanson of Christmasreviews has to say about the new CD.No doubt about it - Chris Bennett is an incredible talent. She has the husky-but-angelic voice that could pump a dynamic heart into any song; in addition, she plays the piano and is a terrific songwriter. Bennett is a true artist and her art form is Jazz. Bennett's sexy-but-sweet allure is apparent throughout "When I Think of Christmas". Even the cover graphic demonstrates mixed imagery; it features the artist wearing the most innocent smile, a jolly Santa cap, and possibly nothing else (at least, ...

Jazz Money songs

Composer/conductor and trumpeter Neal Hefti honed his unmistakable swinging Middle of the Road (MOR) style after spending his formative years -- right out of high school -- in the company of Charlie Barnet, Muggsy Spanier, Earl "Fatha" Hines, Bobby Byrne, and Charlie Spivak. In addition to performing, Hefti was becoming an arranger of note. He then garnered the attention of Horace Heidt, whose version of "Pin Up Girl" was incorporated into the James Stewart and Paulette Goddard film Pot o' Gold (1941). That led to stints with Woody Herman -- who had rejected Hefti when the ambitious teen was still in high school -- and Harry James, as well as becoming a key component in Count Basie's legendary "New Testament" big band. It was circa his tenure as a producer at the Francis Albert Sinatra-owned Reprise Records label, that Hefti used his connections with Basie to score and conduct two of Sinatra's best-loved works, Sinatra and Swingin' Brass (1962) and Sinatra-Basie: An Historic Musical First (1963). Hefti somehow found the energy to cut a few LPs of his own. Jazz Pops is his second Reprise Records' platter, with Hefti leading a star-studded orchestra through a blend of his own high-profile tunes and a few concurrently well-known selections. Among the contributors are such West Coast studio session notables as Jack Sheldon (trumpet), Plas Johnson (flute), Al McKibbon (bass), and Emil Richards (vibes), with Shelly Manne (drums) and Earl Palmer splitting up duties on the skins. "Coral Reef" actually dates back a decade or so as the title track to Hefti's debut LP. In addition to the rousing call and response between the brass and rhythm sections, the upbeat and interminable catchiness immediately establishes the buoyant frolic that is inherent in Hefti's compositions. One especially key component occurs about 90 seconds into the number as Hefti shifts into a double-time rock & roll groove. The woodwind section's surreptitious vibe gives the performance the feel of providing the soundtrack to a dramatic spy-themed television show. The refreshingly laid-back approach to "Exodus" is in direct contrast to the typical ...
