O’s Notes: Chris Bauer plays the harmonica and delivers an unusual take on the Holiday standards that we know and love. He is backed by a core quartet with Glenn McClelland (keyboards), Chris Zimmer (g), Matt Parrish (b) and Dave Mohn (d). The tunes are all upbeat and the harmonica melodies make it stand out. Our favorites here are “I’ll be Home For Christmas”, “Christmastime Is Here”, the swinging “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen” and “Santa Claus Is Comin’ To Town” featuring Rob Paparozzi on the mic.
