Another of these albums (Brentwood Music started the rot) that believe Christian bookshop browsers don't want to be troubled with piffling details like who's actually playing on the album. So there's no sleeve details, in fact hardly any sleeve at all, and save from the fact that it was produced by John Darnall and Sanchez Harley I can tell you nothing. I can tell you that the musos they've gathered around them are superlative fusion jazz guys who can take a set of hackneyed carols like "What Child Is This" and "We Three Kings" and fluidly and creatively breathe new fusion jazz life into them. At times it's not dissimilar to some of the similar hymn/chorus re-stylings Mehler/Nash have done in the past. Nice album, shame about the packaging.
