"A Touch of Christmas" is a "tongue in cheek" casual eclectic mix of easy listening jazz classics and titles linked to the holiday season. Opening the CD is "I Can't Give You Anything But Love" and although not a traditional seasonal classic it is a light hearted testament to the true spirit of the festive season.
The trio breaks out in solo and duo formats over traditional carols "God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman" and "Deck the Hall" which are interspersed with other standards including the trios mystical and imaginative "Poinciana"
"The Best Is Yet To Come" concludes the CD with a positive outlook for the New Year. "A Touch of Christmas" is something for everyone over the festive season.
The trio is a Calgary, Alberta group of freelance musicians locally, nationally and internationally.
Les is a renowned vibraphone and piano musician. "A Touch of Christmas" is his second Christmas CD using the vibraphone. "Voice and Vibes" has Les accompanying vocalist Brent Laing.
