Reviews:
"Listening to Fred Koch's holiday CD is like attending a festive Christmas concert. These terrific variations of conventional holiday tunes are flavored with blues, jazz, and Latin American sounds. A worthy purchase for those always-in-demand holiday collections."
-Booklist
"'Tis The Season' will be welcome where there is a demand for holiday music. Strong cuts include a lively version of 'Jingle Bells' and the lovely 'Cold Is The Morning.' The simple 'Sleighbells Jingling' is perhaps the prettiest song on the recording."
-School Library Journal

-Chicago Tribune
