Faith-A Holiday Album

CD Details

Faith: A Holiday Album is Kenny G’s first holiday collection, released in 1999. The smooth jazz saxophonist brings his signature sound to a mix of traditional Christmas songs, spirituals, and hymns, arranged with orchestral and ensemble accompaniment. While some selections follow familiar patterns, Kenny G’s playing carries genuine warmth and reverence throughout, whether stretching out on upbeat numbers like “Sleigh Ride” and “Santa Claus Is Coming to Town” or delivering more contemplative pieces such as the original composition “Eternal Light (A Chanukah Song)” and a moving rendition of “Ave Maria.”

This CD contains nine tracks spanning roughly 31 minutes of Kenny G’s holiday interpretations, including classics like “Let It Snow. Let It Snow. Let It Snow.,” “The First Noel,” and “I’ll Be Home For Christmas.” The album concludes with a reflective audio history of the twentieth century set beneath a revisited version of “Auld Lang Syne.” Own this used copy and experience the thoughtful arrangements that make this seasonal release special.
