Dear Friends, Music is a gift. If a composer/player has the right intention, it can carry good will and life energy to a listener. Christmas time is a time of hope, cheer and inspiration. It was my intention to infuse the music with these qualities. And more. So that you may connect with your own life energy and creative strengths. Good music allows you to do that. The music on this CD is gentle jazz – playful, perhaps reminiscent of the music of a "Charlie Brown's Christmas." At a recent concert I did, a listener told me: "It's nice to see someone play WITH music, instead of just playing music." May these tunes fill you with the joy of the season, and may you take that joy with you no matter what season you're in. Happy listening! Al Harris
