Kenny G currently owns the smooth-jazz soprano sax with his popular, mainstream arrangements and compositions. And on his first holiday album, despite occasionally predictable charts and phrasing, the saxman delivers a thoughtful and moving collection of songs, spirituals, and hymns, with his trademark sound wedded to several ensemble and orchestral arrangements. The G-man stretches out in "Sleigh Ride" and "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town," but these are balanced by more serious pieces such as the lovely, original "Eternal Light ( A Chanukah Song)" and "Ave Maria." There's a genuine humbleness and inspired reverence in the playing here--as in, Kenny G really means it, man. After a ghost track, "The Christmas Song," the record closes with a haunting audio history of America's last century, which runs under a revisited version of "Auld Lang Syne." Summing up a turbulent and triumphant 100 years, this one is sure to put a lump in your throat and a tear in your eye. --Martin Keller

- Kenny Captures the essence of the past!

A local radio station recently played the Millenium Mix piece anonymously to get audience reaction. Ninety-Nine percent of the calls were intrigued, wowed and panting to get a copy. A week later, due to the overwhelming response of calls & requests, the station revealed it was a song featured on Kenny G's Faith album. Although I'm not particularly into Christmas music, I bought this album based merely on it containing the Millenium Mix/Auld Lang Syne cut. What a delight to find the entire album such an enjoyable musical experience. It makes a great holiday gift as well!

- Terrific Christmas Album

Being a fan of both Christmas music and Kenny G, I eagerly awaited this CD and was not disappointed in the least. Actually, I was quite surprised by many of the arrangements - they are a very nice mix of contemporary and traditional. I especially like SLEIGH RIDE. It's very reminiscent of the instrumental version that was a big hit in the 50s. The whole CD has a very up feel and very joyful sound. If you liked his MIRACLES CD I think you'll love this new one. I believe this is an even better album. There are 2 surprise bonus tracks at the end of the cd: THE CHRISTMAS SONG and AULD LANG SYNE-MILLENIUM VERSION. While the Millenium version is interesting (the last 100 years are heard in sound bites from old radio and tv broadcasts), it is the other version on this CD that is really excellent. If you're like me and already have way too many Christmas CDs but can't resist a new one every season, this is the one to buy. A really feel-good Christmas CD.

- BEST SINGLE ENGLISH-LANGUAGE TRACK IN HISTORY OF RECORDING!

I have worked in the record/music industry. I have heard an enormous amount of recorded music product over the years. "Faith" is a great holiday CD, but "AULD LANG SYNE (THE MILLINEUM MIX)" is undoubtedly the best single track of recorded sound I have EVER heard. I have never had any other piece of work immediately strike to my core and overwhelm me with such poignancy before. I intend to buy this CD for everyone on my holiday list. One of my best friends is a school teacher; I will be buying a copy for his school. I will be buying a copy for my local library! "Auld Lang Syne (The Millineum Mix)," like the 1999-2000 New Year's Eve passage, is a once-in-a-lifetime event! Anyone who cannot deal with it being on the "Faith" holiday CD should simply eliminate the track when PROGRAMMING their CD player at their holiday gathering.

- The CD is fantastic in every sense of the word.

Kenny G is no doubt one of the very best musicians on the American music scene today. Faith is another accomplishment, that I will agree outranks its predecessor, Miracles. Kenny is a master musician, paralyzing the listener with his incredible musicianship. Thanks Kenny for another wonderful Christmas memory!
