The album "Bread Winners" was a tribute to the band Bread, with eight songs written by David Gates and two by Jimmy Griffin and Robb Royer. In my opinion, this is an album of unique class, style, and talent - the interpretations, the arrangements, and the very special Bread's music!

The match-up of neo-pop crooner with composer is a felicitous one, especially given that this album was recorded in Paris with arranging and conducting. The result is that the treatment of familiar songs such as and is less gimmicky than usual: and slow down, and treat in a more melancholy-than-usual manner. Elsewhere, 's blues and jazz influences are on display, notably on and 's lugubrious lyrics sometimes overstate the wistful tone of ' s melodies, but , by keeping his emotions in check, brings the two into harmony. The liner notes claim this is the singer's favorite of his own albums, and it is certainly one of his least compromised. So often, he has tried on record to balance his pop roots with the commercial demands of contemporary pop-rock; here, he is going all out in one particular style, and the approach works for him.

"Curtain Time" was originally issued on vinyl in 1968, as MCA/Universal was trying to make every last penny they could off the Jack Jones catalog that they acquired from Kapp. This CD features an excellent mix of showtunes that Jones recorded, and they're not all the predictable ones you've seen repeated in recent years for Greatest Hits collections. It's especially good to see titles from the Nelson Riddle and Billy May collaborations included here, since Jones gets far too little recognition for the legendary talent he worked with, and the amazing material he recorded, while such a very young vocalist with Kapp. For some of these songs, this is the first and only time they've been remastered for CD, so there's much worthwhile about this compilation, even if its price tag is rather steep.

For his second seasonal collection, recorded in 1969 (following 1964's "The Jack Jones Christmas Album"), Jack Jones took a more eclectic, contemporary approach, including spiritual (if not specifically holiday) songs like the socially conscious "Some Children See Him" (which posited a multi-racial Christ child) and the recent Edwin Hawkins Singers hit "Oh Happy Day." "Little Altar Boy" was also given a gospel arrangement, while "O Little Town of Bethlehem" was rendered a cappella with chorus. "Christmas Day" from the recent musical Promises, Promises may have seemed like a standard-in-the-making, though it did not become one. Still, Jones sounds more comfortable on traditional fare like "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" and "Silver Bells."
