I'LL BE HOME FOR CHRISTMAS features 14 seasonal songs as interpreted by some of the finest artists on the Windham Hill label. This compilation is filled with many unforgettable classics, as well as two lesser-known seasonal works, "Yazala Abambuti" and "Bring a Torch Jeanette Isabella." Gentle arrangements of "Angels from the Realms of Glory" and "O Holy Night" are both soothing and spiritually invigorating, while Philip Aaberg's piano reduction of the Nutcracker Suite captures the splendor and magnificence of Tchaikovsky's holiday ballet. The highpoint of I'LL BE HOME FOR CHRISTMAS is pianist Liz Story's delicate rendition of "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas." Other selections include Sean Harkness's "Christmas Time Is Here" and Philippe Saisse's "Winter Wonderland," both of which fall into a smooth-jazz feel. On the latter, a muted trumpet and funky backbeat turn this old-fashioned sing-along into a sleek, adult-contemporary single. Windham Hill's I'LL BE HOME FOR CHRISTMAS is the perfect addition to anyone's holiday wish list.
