Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
The Soulful Sounds of Christmas is a solid collection, mostly of '90s urban contemporary pop from the likes of chart-toppers Whitney Houston, En Vogue, Yolanda Adams, Dru Hill, New Edition, Babyface, Take 6, and Usher. There's plenty of party jams, plus a stunning a cappella turn from Take 6 on "Oh Little Town of Bethlehem" and the prototype rap of Run-D.M.C.'s classic "Christmas in Hollis." Add the indefatigable BeBe & CeCe Winans on "Silent Night" and the gospel-powered verve of Kirk Franklin & the Family on his reverberating spiritual "Now Behold the Lamb" and you've got a holiday disc that both goes to church and decks the halls without missing a beat or amen. --Martin Keller

Elegant and beautiful.......2005-10-21

This CD by 35 year-old Portland-based saxophonist Patrick Lamb is an elegant and beautiful rendering of Christmas classics. (If you like, see my reviews of his other CDs sold at Amazon.) This outstanding artist who plays with exquisite sensitivity and, where called for, power, is a still-rising talent. Note: He's extensively toured internationally with multiple Grammy winner and vocalist, Diane Schuur, and with jazz/pop vocalist Bobby Caldwell. (If you're not yet familiar with Lamb, what do Schuur and Caldwell know do you not yet know?) This CD makes a great holiday gift.
