R E V I E W S:

"Luther Henderson has written scores of scores for the [Canadian] Brass and his holiday ones are remembered here...A new holiday classic that feels like home for a fractured, mobile society, this is the Brass at their 43 year best. An annual listen that's destined to become a perennial, they amaze and confound doing their thing once again as only true masters can do. Check it out."

"As this new recording reflects one more time, the hallmark of any Canadian Brass performance is entertainment, spontaneity, and, of course, fun...True to form, the Canadian Brass infuses...timeless classics with verve and humor while keeping the music lively with commendable virtuosity. Christmas Time is Here is an interesting, zesty album, and a humorous addition to an overcrowded Holiday Music catalogue."
-- Christian Dalzon, Concerto Net.com

"The Canadian Brass has brought back the richness and remembrances of the season with their release Christmas Time Is Here... As is the case with most Canadian Brass recordings they have developed such a chemistry and harmonic styling that the five brass instruments get the most of their range and voicings... This album is a delightful little present to put under the Christmas tree."
