Album Notes

Chocolate-kissed aromas fill the room while
red, green, and blue lights shape a glowing, thickly-decorated tree.
The snow-flaked December sights appear to be dressed in white... And
as smooth jazz piano tones from the Top Selling CD, “A Cool Jazz Christmas” caress your ears… You know it's Christmas time... Author: I Wright Rimes

It’s also been a tough economic year, so I’ve reduced the price of the CD from $12.97 to $10.97... Discover what thousands have found—My second CD release, “A Cool Jazz Christmas”, is the perfect gift for you and for those names on your shopping list.

I’ve included my best-selling single, “The Lord’s Prayer” on this CD.
My musical composition for the Master's words; this song is a fresh alternative to the time-worn version you are accustomed to hearing.
If you are a Carpenters fan, you will be amazed at the vocal style similarity of Rebeka Keough (vocalist for this cut) and Karen Carpenter. In fact, after Rebeka sang her vocal track in the studio, I changed the arrangement from jazz trio style to a Pop sound reminiscent of The Carpenters.
"The Lord's Prayer" is an International favorite evidenced by download and CD sales numbers received from iTunes, Napster, Rhapsody, CD Baby and every other major download site.

This CD makes the perfect Christmas gift. And think about this!
Right now, you can satisfy 8 people on your shopping list spending WELL BELOW $99 by ordering copies of a "A Cool Jazz Christmas”.
CD Baby makes it so easy. Fill in answers to a couple of questions and your Christmas shopping is over!
-NO Long Lines
-NO fighting huge crowds at the mall
-You save a lot of money for a quality gift done with NO STRESS
-Best of all, you’ve made 8 people very happy :)

Make this Christmas a bit warmer with this Top Selling music.
I guarantee you and your loved ones will love it!

P.S. How many albums/CDs have you owned that contained 10 pretty good songs, but only 2 or 3 GREAT songs that really moved you to play over and over again?
That picture is so common, I bet you easily identify.

So, the point is this: You will most likely find 2-4 songs on my Christmas album that caress your ears and those 2, 3 or 4 songs are the only tunes you may want to buy.
Thanks to the new CD Baby you can do just that!

And here's the payoff:
You don't need to spend the full CD price for songs you may never play.
Instead, for less than $5, own the songs you will play over and over.
Buy the CD; or download the it via download saving a lot of money in the process.

The point is: CD Baby now gives you a choice to purchase the CD, or download any number of songs you want... A very good deal!

Rarely does any independent artist pop the iTunes top 150 charts, but 2 of my CDs, "A Smooth Jazz Christmas" and "God Is Cool" are listed in two genres - "Jazz", and "Gospel and Christian".

But my best work may shine in "What Child is This". This song contains magic moments captured in a recording session only on very rare occasions - check it out.

P.P.S. MERRY CHRISTMAS!

"A Cool Jazz Christmas" is dedicated to my late, beautiful daughter, Kasey Michelle:
Born August 24, 1979
Died November 5, 2008
Rest In Peace My Baby
Love,
Dad
