To Find Love There: A Classic Celebration of Christmas (CD REVIEW)

CD Review: To Find Love There: A Classic Celebration of Christmas

Artist: Jon Garrett

　

With the Christmas season just around the corner. We will already begin to see and hear the signs of the holidays in retails stores and on most local radio and televisions stations.

Some of you may feel bored with the stagnant and lack of fresh holiday music. I submit to you a rare gem of timeless classics and modern contemporary Christmas songs offered on "To Find Love There: A Classic Celebration of Christmas" the debut solo release from Jon Garrett.

This is a well rounded collection of songs, the instrumentation and choir is well performed, arranged and recorded to fit most contemporary jazz to light rock and pop ballad tastes.

Jon Garrett lovingly adds his smooth and sustaining tenor voice to each song. This is Jon's first full length solo recording, but He brings to the table a life time of vocal and musical experience as the Worship Leader of the St. Louis Family Church in Chesterfield, Missouri for the past 20 years, and his extensive career with several St. Louis area performing opera companies and theaters.

As a whole "To Find Love There" is a fantastic recording, Perfect for just a relaxing listen to unwind from daily stress, music at holiday parties, and as a worship CD for at home or even a church service. Out of the 12 tracks Jon Garrett selected 7 traditional Christmas songs/hymns like O Holy Night, O Come Emmanuel, It Came Upon The Midnight Clearing and more. "To Find Love There" also features 5 original songs like the title track "To Find Love There" and "Through the Eyes of a Child".

The spirituality behind this album is what drives it home. Jon Garret being a long time worship leader wanted to create an album that would help set the tone for the listener to let go of the worldly stress and reach that place of relaxation and peace. The CD's mix of familiar traditional lyrics allows the listener to begin singing along since most of us have heard them for decades now. Then the original tracks provoke your thoughts with some fresh and equally well written songs driving home the message of the season.

Even if you don't consider yourself a spiritual person you won't be able to deny to sheer artistic beauty and talent on this CD that seems to evoke a more peaceful state of mind and mood.

So treat yourself this holiday by ordering a copy of Jon Garrett's "To Find Love There: A Classic Celebration of Christmas". It's also the perfect holiday gift for any audiophile off jazz, opera, or contemporary pop/rock music lover.
