DESCRIPTION

REVIEWS

"Dmitri Matheny's Santa's Got a Brand New Bag crossed my desk a few weeks ago, and I can't seem to keep it off my desktop CD player. It's downright refreshing. That’s probably due to Matheny, a rising star in the jazz firmament, whose warm tone, playful nature and lyrical sensibilities add an extra dimension and freshness to this collection of tried-and-true holiday tunes."
—Monterey Herald

"Flugelhornist Dmitri Matheny's Christmas jazz album mostly features his regular group (with Kenny Brooks on tenor and soprano, guitarist Brad Buethe, pianist Darrell Grant, bassist Ruth Davies, and drummer Jason Lewis), although various numbers also feature the French horn of Mark Taylor; Rob Burger on accordion; and vocals by Paula West, Clairdee, and Brenda Boykins. Highlights include happy versions of such songs as "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town," "Winter Wonderland," and "Let It Snow." The closing "The Christmas Song" is taken as a brief, unaccompanied flugelhorn solo. A recommended acquisition for one's Christmas jazz collection."
