Customer Review Smoothjazz.com Review Steve Oliver's SNOWFAll is a collection of ten holiday tracks - nine traditional and one original. Sonically, this is one of the most eloquent Christmas releases we've come across this season. With more joy than should be contained in just one man, Steve Oliver goes with Christmas like Santa's cookies with milk. SNOWFALL is a tasteful and lovely collection of works from the joyful guitarist/singer. It includes favorite seasonal melodies displayed in stunning Steve Oliver arrangements. In case you weren't totally aware, Steve is a beautiful vocalist. We think he's pitch perfect. . . In addition to the sparkling and flowing instrumentals, the album features a scattering of vocals. His version of "Silent Night" will move you and he's nothing short of dynamic on his original "Watching The Snowfall. " The quality and precision of Steve's voice is on the same level as say, Michael McDonald or Kenny Loggins. Steve is no stranger to the Smooth Jazz arena - he has toured and performed with many format corner stones including the likes of Rick Braun, Peter White, Marc Antoine, Everette Harp, Larry Carlton and may be most remembered as an integral member/partner of Steve Reid's magical ensemble Bamboo Forest. Many like to refer to Steve Oliver as a Rising Star; however, we feel that Mr. Oliver's star has risen with such Smooth Jazz hits as "First View," "High Noon," "Positive Energy," "Chips & Salsa" and his latest, "Good To Go. " Add SNOWFALL to your holiday playlist and listen to Steve O shine brightly. ~ SANDY SHORE. . You can see a complete list of all Steve Oliver discography, or go back to the Steve Oliver tabs
