  • CHRISTMAS

    While the CD is what we expected, it is disappointing that there were only six tracks on it. Thank you.

  • Absolutely magnificent!
    author: Carey

    This album was brilliantly executed, stunningly inspirational, and overall just plain wonderful. I bought 17 copies to give as Christmas gifts this year, and every recipient so far has called me personally to thank me for introducing them to the powerful music of Jason & Nolan!!! Another fantastic piece of work!

  • Absolutely beautiful and enchanting

    This is a wonderful album. It is hard in a field of so many Christmas albums to find a jewel, but this is it. I don't intend to wait until next Christmas to play it again.

  • Great, soothing music
    author: Ken

    As always, Jason and Nolan's music is wonderful, soothing, and gorgeous. This is a great addition to my collection of Christmas music from two consumate musicians. Highly recommended!

  • THRILLING, INSPIRING, & CHARMING!! This is a fantastic Christmas album!

    From beginning to end, this Christmas CD is wonderful! The opening "Celebration Medley" is a thrilling and inspiring arrangement of carols that sounds like Mannheim Steamer meets Disney with a celtic flare. I love it. "Snow Song / O Come, O Come Emmanuel" is beautifully delicate and almost haunting. The "Bethlehem Medley" has some very nice mellow jazz moments, and the lovely "O Holy Night" is unique but very worshipful. These guys are great at what they do, and you will not be dissapointed with this album.
