Alan Schulman: AS IS: O Holy NIght
Track review of "O Holy NIght"
With a fearless abandon, the two plop the chilly and ancient carol squarely into a humid samba, turning the holiday classic on its ear. The song begins at jarringly fast clip introduced by guitarist Schulman, only to be slowed down by a polyrythimic deceleration by singer Schulman, the two combining in an engaging performance not expected by most listeners. The invention on this piece begs that the pair have recorded a full release of Holiday fare. That said, we must be content with this musical taste of courage. AS IS goes out on a limb.
