Teresa Bright more than fulfills the promise made by the title. Bright has never sounded more refined or seductive than she does here as she reinterprets nine seasonal favorites and a classic Christian hymn in jazzy retro-pop style.

Bright's delightful voice is complimented by the work of some of Hawaii's major studio talents under the direction of Kit Ebersbach. "What Child is This" and "It's That Time of the Year" are instant stand-outs but each melody and every lyric is beautifully interpreted. Bright evokes memories of Sergio Mendes & Brazil '66 with several numbers but she and Ebersbach offer fresh perspectives throughout.
