"Christmas With Friends" is Jeff Brucculeri's second album, following the success his debut album "The Power." His first album is filled with classic hymns done in various styles. "Christmas With Friends" features some classic favorites like "O Holy Night" and "Joy To the World." The smooth jazz sound of "Christmas Time Is Here" has become a favorite cut off the album. Gospel Big Band crooner Dave Boyer lends his voice to "O Little Town of Bethlehem" and "Silver Bells." The Oral Roberts University Jazz Ensemble is featured on big band versions of "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" and "Good King Wenceslas." As with all Christmas albums, the music on this CD is timeless and will help bring you into the holiday spirit.
