{"product_id":"season-45","title":"Season","description":"Following a recording hiatus that stretched for over two decades, Steve Perry returned to the studio for 2018's Traces, his third solo album and first since leaving Journey in 1998. Having re-established himself in the 21st century, the Bay Area rock legend offers up his first-ever holiday album in 2021's The Season. Leaning heavily on his jazz chops, Perry plays the crooner on eight well-known Yuletide favorites. In terms of material, there are no great surprises here; standards like \"I'll Be Home for Christmas\" and \"Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas\" are delivered with a relatively casual elegance, relying on little more than voice and piano. Elsewhere, Perry works his band up to a mild soft pop froth on \"Winter Wonderland\" and \"Silver Bells.\" He's at his best on the more downplayed jazz arrangements like \"What Are You Doing New Year's Eve,\" a slightly lesser-known midcentury chestnut originally made popular by singers like Ella Fitzgerald and Nancy Wilson. It's not a major record for the singer, but at 72, Perry's voice has aged into the kind of sweet whiskeyed tenor that sits nicely in this jazz standard milieu. ~ Timothy Monger","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47114912661791,"sku":"888072287754","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/0f5f4298e7a51c8a26377fc5ca1976bc_76a625c8-9f50-4c54-8052-65d7dc824c87.jpg?v=1777535256","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/season-45","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
