I've grown to like this one more and more over the years.  Nothing flashy, just a relaxed, cozy session of familiar and cherished tunes.  It's kinda like if you had five really cool and talented friends who volunteered to play the music at you Christmas party this year.  Mr. Ponder's solo acoustic version of "The Christmas Song" caps off the proceedings nicely and makes one appreciate just how lovely a melody that is.  For those of you who simply hate Christmas music, there is a positive side to this CD just for you -- it only has 9 tunes, so it's finished before you know it.  This same quartet recorded a session of regular material the day before this June 17, 1998 session.  I have that CD too and should look it up and give it a listen.

This is the album recorded the day before the Jimmy Ponder Christmas album noted above.  Some nice cover tunes and then, out of the blue, there was this PHENOMENALLY GROOVY tune!!  As of today, only 14 people have listened to this track on YouTube, but believe me, for the best 6 minutes of your day, ya gotta listen to this!

Nothing on the Christmas album comes close to matching that energy and level of groove.
