Amazon.co.uk Review
The first six tracks of Making Spirits Bright could have been subtitled "A Twist of Christmas", for they bear the indelible stamp of guitarist and producer Lee Ritenour and his A Twist of Marley album. In fact, his Brazilian take on "Silent Night", with singer Al Jarreau, sounds like an arrangement worked straight out of Ritenour's A Twist of Jobim sessions. Even with guitarists Joyce Cooling and Marc Antoine, his presence is noticeable. The other half of the album finds most of the artists doing their own thing, the best of which is the funky groove saxophonist Richard Elliot and keyboardist Jeff Lorber lay under "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen". Like a few of the other tunes however, the production suffers from the frightening tendency to fade tracks prematurely in an obvious effort to appease smooth jazz radio. It should be noted that the Diana Krall track was previously released on a Christmas EP three years ago. --Mark Ruffin

In love with Diana Krall music? Ask her to sing you Jingle.. December 4, 2001
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Have you ever bought a CD for one song only? If so, do it once again. Diana Krall singing Jingle Bells is what you always expected for Christmas. Charming and hot, entertaining and cosy. As a bonus you'll get 11 other tracks you can put on your CD player for all the time you'll spend at home. It's Christmas, but not pop nor plastic. Just bright.
