Known for his brilliant guitar work (on New England Christmastide, among others), Otis' guitar provides the back drop for this holiday release. With his folk and jazz credentials both in evidence, his acoustic guitar is flanked by piano, bass, drums, sax and flute on this delightfully upbeat collection of favorite carols. The arrangements respect the tradition of these timeless melodies, while creating a fresh contemporary sound - sprightly and rhythmic and filled with holiday cheer.
