Too Jazzy!
I don't know why I keep ordering Popular Performer titles when I've been dissatisfied with every one that I've ordered. And again, it has happened with this one. I purchased it based on the sample that I could see on this website and when I received it, I found it...

My favoite Christmas piano book!
These arrangements are so fun to play. Sound like lush lounge music. The funnest is "Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town". The last page and a half has high energy that makes me want to laugh with glee. The songs have good variety between calm sections and more energetic section....

I love this style
It's rare that I enjoy 80% of any book I purchase but these arrangements were clever and fun. Some were over the top lengthy but it's loaded with great harmonies and rhythms. I love to see more from this arranger (Jan Sanborn).

Great stylized tradition
This book is in the best cocktail lounge tradition of stylized seasonal favorites. While not easy and requiring a big hand or facile playing the arrangements are worthwhile, fun, beautiful - and all of the above!
