Load up. Press play. Hand your ears over to the Face. The transformation comes suddenly in the very first incendiary moments of the lead track, where the bass and drums gather the fuel, inhale the oxygen, and hand the rappers the match Face Candy is the brainchild of Eyedea & Abilities frontman Eyedea (aka Oliver Hart). The entire album This Is Where We Were is improvisational music and freestyle MC'ing recorded live while touring the Midwest. Face Candy pushes the boundaries of hip hop with the spontaneous creation of these tracks being improvised into existence.

New Orleans pianist, singer, and songwriter Harry Connick Jr. has done what many makers of Christmas records strive for but seldom achieve: he's made a Christmas record that sounds convincingly like a '40s period piece and rigorously like a cool, contemporary jazz disc. His powerful, self-written Christmas songs sound like polished standards, and he delivers the whole package with a sassy, vocal economy (with the occasional New Orleans accent) and an orchestral richness that is never indulgent or overwhelming. When My Heart Finds Christmas is a true classic that no lover of big-band jazz and singing (in the Sinatra style)--and Christmas music--should be without. There are so many great moments here that singling any one out would be at the expense of the others. Still, the reverential, solo-piano intro to "Ave Maria," Connick's own "(It Must've Been Ol') Santa Claus," (a rousing, second-line swing tune), and his triumphant "I Pray on Christmas" (a get-happy-now gospel song) deserve mention if only because they'll earn Connick extra credit in heaven and on Earth. --Martin Keller
