Our Review
A little jazzy, a little bluesy, Christmas Wish is a wistful but ultimately upbeat ode to an absent lover. As someone who feels (and, to a certain extent, loves) the holiday melancholy almost as much as the enforced festiveness of the American Christmas season, I always appreciate a song that speaks to that other side of the holidays. I hadn't heard Ms. Lauren, and I quickly came to appreciate her vocal clarity and jazz presence. This is one I hope would show up on a Christmas compilation and garner some air play as the years go by.

From the liner notes:
Lisa Lauren made a splash on jazz radio with her debut release, What Comes Around, which featured saxophonist David Sanborn. With a growing reputation as a baby boomer jazz diva, Ms. Lauren has made respectable showings with both of her CD releases.
A pianist as well as a singer-songwriter, the Chicago-based artist was interviewed in December 2000 bySoundstage magazine.
