There is a lot
more to be said for That Christmas Feeling than I can say without
seeming to gush. Steve Barta's classically-influenced jazz piano
renditions of Christmas classics (old and new) were enough to make
me feel the Christmas spirit in August! Barta used all acoustic
instruments to make this recording, and it gives the recordings
a warmth that would not have been achieved any other way.
His music rivals the finest Christmas records I've heard. There
is a depth to Barta's touch on the piano that conveys feeling and
conviction. He has made a tremendous effort to give something back
to Christmas music. His fine instrumental arrangements will play
in my house for many years to come. Barta's recordings will make
fine gifts or worthy additions to the Christmas library.
