Andrea Brachfeld stuffs the Christmas stocking with her mix of flutes as she ecumenically celebrates a variety of the end of year holidays with her team of Bill O’Connell/p, Blake Meister/b, Eric Kennedy/dr and Wycliffe Gordon/tb.
Gordon here is a major bonus, adding a rich foil of sound on his rich trombone to team up with Brachfeld for a nice and bluesy “Silent Night” while getting cozy with her under the mistletoe for a hoot of a vocal duet on her own “See The Light”. Brachfeld herself uses her flute like an egg nogg to sweeten everything up, floating with Meister on a rich “Ma’oz Tzur” and heading to the saloon with O’Connell for “ O’ Hanukkah, Sevivon”, with the team going Peanutsy over “Christmas Time Is Here”. The light shines in the darkness on this release, making it sound good all year round.
