From the liner notes...

When the suggestion was made for me
to write a new Christmas album for the
Air Force Band featuring the Airmen
of Note, I was a little bit apprehensive.
After all, for nearly twenty years, I've
been involved in writing arrangements
of "every known Christmas tune" for
various groups in the Air Force Band.
It seemed as if we'd done just about
all there was to do.

However, after some thought, I realized
that in all of these years there never
has been a Christmas album which
truly featured the individual creativity,
as well as the collective versatility, of
the Airmen of Note. So, in writing each
arrangement I've added some twists
and turns to these once familiar songs -
making use of the musical strengths of
each individual, yet maintaining the
sound that has come to be recognized
as the Airmen of Note.

My hope is that you, the listener, will
get as much enjoyment in hearing this
album as I experienced in writing it
and that the fun we had recording these
songs will be shared by you as well.

It has been both a joy and an honor for
me to write for the Airmen of Note for
nearly twenty years. This band has been,
and continues to be, one of the finest
big bands of our time.
