SEASONS is now on SPOTIFY!
The links below point to the tracks on Spotify - an online listening app that is GREAT! If you're looking for some excellent Christmas music to listen to, I humbly suggest this album!| 1 | Come Thou Long Expected Jesus | 6:28 | Uptempo smooth jazz, with a great build |
| 2 | Emmanuel | 6:04 | aka O come, O come, Emmanuel. Starts with 2:00 of gorgeous solo piano, then the band comes in with an adult comtemporary version. |
| 3 | Silent Night | 4:27 | Hodge-podge opening (can YOU name all the tunes?) and a silky-smooth adult contemporary sound |
| 4 | Gentle Mary Laid Her Child | 4:53 | aka Good King Wenceslas. Soaring sax over a peaceful synth bed |
| 5 | What Child Is This? | 3:31 | RnR version of the famous question |
| 6 | Venite | 7:50 | “O Come Let Us Adore Him”, if you aren’t up on your Latin. Starts out new agey, and breaks into an adult contemporary version at 4:17. |
| 7 | Three Kings | 5:27 | Think Renaissance band at the King's Court, a pipe organ in a smoke-filled darkly-lit jazz club, some seriously kickin' grooves and a surprising solo piano. A great package just filled with ear candy! Inspired by the California Raisins Christmas Special. |
| 8 | At the Cross | 2:20 | Reflective solo piano. Think Bill Evans, late at night, in a quiet house, trying to play and not wake the kids. |
| 9 | Christ the Lord is Risn’ Today | 3:42 | Time for some straight ahead pop! |
| 10 | Jesus Paid It All | 5:03 | Reflective, then uptempo. Just like the lyrics (though no one else seems to have noticed). |
| 11 | I surrender All | 3:42 | So, if you were in a jazz club at 2 am on Thursday - is this what this tune would sound like? |
| 12 | All Creatures of Our God & King | 3:31 | Nashville Pop. 'Nuff said. |
| 13 | My Father’s World | 3:15 | Uptempo Pop. Check out the surprise ending! |
| 14 | Joyful, again! | 4:18 | The theme from Beethoven’s 9th symphony, aka Joyful Joyful We Adore Thee, in a 6/8 swing. At 2:02 shifts to a 5/4 uptempo Spyrogyra-like version. Serious Swing for a serious melody. |
