Peter Furler - Peter Furler Christmas (feat. David Ian) (2014) [Hi-Res]

"... exceptional because of the triple point of Furler's voice, Ian's arrangements and the magic that occurs after the first beat is struck."
- All About Jazz

"... perhaps the best Christmas release for the year ... David Ian is far more than an accompanist but instead a magician of counterpoint allowing Furler's introspective yet old school cool style to shine through for a truly memorable release. Whether you are looking for a more traditional recording, a vintage sound or that perfect release for the Christmas Eve vigil, Peter Furler brings us tidings of great joy!"
