Pop instrumentalist Kenny G. has a thing for seasonal music. WISHES: A HOLIDAY ALBUM, is G`s third collection of holiday music and follows on the heels of MIRACLES and FAITH. Delivering the kind of lighter-than-air tone and arrangements that allowed this soprano saxophonist to dominate the world, this Seattle native treats these 10 perennials with great care.
The album draws primarily from the most traditional corners of holiday music, and gorgeous versions of "Jesu, Joy Of Man`s Desiring," "Joy To The World" and the lush melody of "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing/O Come All Ye Faithful" are sure to put the Christmas spirit into even the heart of The Grinch. Kids get served a jaunty medley of "Rudolph The Rednose Reindeer/Frosty The Snowman" and nobody ends up going home with coal in their stockings.
