Doing what every good merchandiser does when there's no new real product for the Christmas season, Kenny G repackages his best stuff with a few new tracks. The Greatest Holiday Classics boasts pieces from previous holiday records, Wishes (2002), Faith (1999) and Miracles (1997), with five new cuts for a total of 16. To be sure it's a generous offering from the one guy in popular music who just might be contemporary America's Jazzman. Whether playing his acclaimed alto sax or blowing tenor, Kenny's signature tone is nearly unmistakable from anyone else's, perhaps, for his easily accessible phrasing and the limited improvisation he's willing to put on record. His focus has always been on delivering the song, rather than the possibilities for innovation, exploration and enhanced creativity that more adventurous players readily welcome in the jazz setting with any tune. One of the new pieces, a big band treatment of "Jingle Bell Rock" joyfully swings under Randy Waldman's arrangement and fellow his horn men seem to push G on his solo, while the other new works "My Favorite Things" and "I'll Be Home for Christmas" are fairly predictable fare. Even "Jingle Bells" is reduced to a slow tempo, with KG's trademark moody, saccharine strings and piano in the mix. But then, this is exactly the kind of Christmas tea many want against the often-overwhelming din of the holiday rush. Martin Keller

 Kenny G Christmas CD October 14, 2008
I bought this CD for my daughter's cafe to use during the holiday season and we really enjoy it.
Lovely Holiday Music CD January 2, 2008
My teenage son gave me this CD for Christmas, because he knew I liked Kenny G and did not have any of his holiday CDs. The CD is sort of a "greatest hits" collection, with selections from his other holiday CDs. Those who already own one or more of Kenny's other holiday CDs may not be as interested in this CD as someone like me who doesn't.
It is a lovely collection of holiday music...mostly Christmas, but it does include one Chanukah piece. I have enjoyed all the music very much, but I especially like "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas", "Miracles", "We Three Kings/Carol of the Bells", "The Chanukah Song" and "I'll Be Home for Christmas". I've listened to the CD many times and look forward to many years of enjoyment.
Holiday Classics are a a classic January 2, 2008
This is a great selection of Kenny G Chiristmas melodys that I keep in my car throughout the entire season. A joy to listen to over and over again.

Just as all of Kenny's albums are excellent, this one is too. If you love amazing talent, saxophone and music in general, you will love this. Just wonderful.
