about

The offering: Montreal stalwarts -- pianist Oliver Jones leading his trio, singer Ranee Lee fronting her quartet and the Jubilation Gospel Choir -- take turns over nine tunes and join together for the 10th, Oscar Peterson's classic Hymn to Freedom.
Classic chestnuts: The standard fare runs from Silent Night to Little Drummer Boy, to We Three Kings, all with a jazzy tinge thanks to the crack bands of Jones and Lee.
New jingles: Folk music Gras Bonye/Seigneur J'élève Ton Nom, featuring the Daphnée Louis Singers from Haiti, is added to the seasonal mix. 4-1/2 snowflakes - Winnipeg Free Press
