大衛‧班華三重奏：信任 (CD)

聖誕節是西方人最重要的節日，如今聖誕節與跨越新年在全球都是最具意義的
年度活動。溫馨祝福的簡訊取代卡片，手機貼圖留言也改變過去電話拜訪的形式‧
唯一不變的是音樂。美國西岸鋼琴手大衛‧班華從1980年代成名後，幾度聖誕專輯推出就獲得好評。1989年的「Waiting For Spring」與1996年的「Remembering Christmas」兩個錄音都是告示牌爵士排行冠軍專輯。另外他承接鋼琴手Vince Guaraldi過世後，為美國電視史努比卡通擔任配樂演奏與創作，更是許多人期待的全新演奏創意。

  「Believe」(信任)專輯是2015年大衛‧班華再以他魅力無限的鋼琴演奏，讓聖誕節充滿都會生活樂趣的新錄音。專輯中邀請1998年塞隆尼斯大賽亞軍的爵士女伶珍夢海獻唱，一起為樂迷帶來無限即興歡樂。電影"真善美"插曲『My Favorite Things』與專輯標題曲『Believe』，珍夢海唱出真誠的即興吟唱，另有一支全美國兒童合唱團在『My Little Drum』、『The Christmas Song』四首歌曲當中與珍夢海合唱，天真無邪的歌唱，呼應出聖誕節萬象迎新的氛圍。不能錯過長達八分多鐘的『Guaraldi Medley』，特別獻給Vince Guaraldi，並將他多首名曲串成一首即興演奏曲。
GRAMMY-nominated pianist/composer/arranger David Benoit and GRAMMY-nominated vocalist Jane Monheit continue their synergy from 2 In Love to create Believe, a Christmas album full of holiday favorites that will inspire and warm the heart throughout the holiday season.
