Review

Nashville session veteran Beegie Adair turns in a pleasant, tasteful set of jazz-trio arrangements of holiday standards here, accompanied by bassist Roger Spencer and drummer Chris Brown. The trio plays the melodies straight, then Adair takes off on appropriate variations. There's nothing earth-shaking here, but the playing is effective, and the result is a worthy addition to the Christmas music catalog. ~ William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide
