...Snowriding is a premier, straight-ahead, holiday jazz recording... Pianist Rick Gallagher and his quartet have one of the best new instrumental jazz CDs... If you like the Vince Guaraldi Charlie Brown CD, you'll love Rick's disc. ...a terrific new piano trio (plus percussion) collection. As with the first, Gallagher's arrangements succeed by keeping the tune familiar without sacrificing the jazz. |
Gallagher's arrangements are infectiously inventive, and he has a knack for confounding expectations...Get this one; it's a keeper. Last year's favorite Christmas album at CD Baby is this year's "must have." If you're in the market for a Christmas album at all, don't waste one more minute looking any further than the Rick Gallagher jazz trio. This is Christmas music at its classiest, at its most sophisticated and in its least cliche, least commercial form. |
