REVIEWS:
SMOOTH JAZZ NEWS
All evening Peter, Rick and Mindi came out to the ends of the stage, out in the audience, and at one point, Peter was dancing with a 2-year old! The show began with Rick Braun's stirring rendition of "The Little Drummer Boy." Midway through the song, he was joined first by Peter, and then by Mindi. Then they went right into "The Christmas Song," with tremendous vocals provided by keyboardist, David Sparkman.
