Our Review
I wasn't familiar with the work of Joni Bishop, so I had no idea what a treat I was in for when I first listened to Endless Christmas! Ms. Bishop's superb arrangements of Christmas favorites will spend a lot of time in my CD changer this season. I still have several CDs to hear for "work," but this was one of those I didn't want to take out and move on.
Accompanied by oboist Electra Reed, Ms. Bishop has achieved some enchanting arrangements of the traditional and the new. On Little Drummer Boy, Patapan, What Child Is This, Silent Night, and The Christmas Song, she wraps her Christmas offering with unusual new upbeat tempos, creating a very expressive and pleasing gift. Similarly, she offers catchy arrangements of several new Christian songs, including the title track. I enjoyed listening to every song on the CD.
What a gem!
