Michel Legrand Orchestra - Silent Night - Featuring John Pizzarelli

John Pizzarelli's vocals are not especially sonorous Legrand's arrangement is --- with a complement of brass doing the honors.It's a Christmas album enlisting the talents of Hollywood's finest including Johnny Mandel This arrangement and the one for Imelda May' are similar in pace and mood but because Legrand is Legrand the stops are pulled out for unexpected and lavish goodies en route.May has a balmy richness that probably shades it over Pizzarelli. Her metier is the rock n roll dawn when oodles of 1950s singers including Patti Page were peerless exponents of popular song.
