Here's my 1st homespun jingle...a docu-commentary.

Broken Dishwasher

PEGGY DUQUESNEL "All I Ask for Christmas," is a double album with 21 tracks separated into an instrumental disc and a vocal disc. The project features several popular Christmas standards along with four of Peggy's original Christmas songs. It highlights her fluid piano improvisations and inviting vocals with a trio that includes Brian Bromberg on bass and Joe La Barbera on drums. Extra finesse and colors are added by Brian Kilgore on percus-W. Rick Braun on flugelhorn and Jay Leach on guitar. Vocalist Bill Cantos is featured on three duets with Peggy, including the title cut, as well as introducing vocalist Emma Werderman, who joins Peggy on Mary Did You Know for another moving duet. Duquesnel's jazzy / pop arrangements and songwriting capture her eclectic jazz background and warm personality. 

Press Reviews:
“Peggy's latest musical offering is a beautiful double disc of holiday music. Each song is an incredible jazzed up re-interpretation of some of your favorite holiday music and of course there are a few of Peggy's originals that will keep you interested in her long after the holidays are over simply because of her lovely vocals and impeccable pianos skills.”
-	Sounds of Timeless Jazz (Dec 12, 2013)

“One of the most outstanding Christmas albums is most certainly the double album produced by pianist and vocalist Peggy Duquesnel. All I Ask for Christmas (JoySpring Music) features a whole CD of instrumental versions of traditional Christmas carols and songs. But there are also four originals by the pianist, “All I Ask for Christmas,” “Christmas is Here” “Under The Christmas Tree” and the spiritually inclined “Light of Christmas”.”
- Raul de Gama, World Music Report (Dec 21, 2013)

“I can spend hours looking for the perfect holiday music and what I love most is instrumental. My choice this year is Peggy Duquesnel’s "All I Ask For Christmas."All twelve instrumentals on this disc are amazing. This is not the traditional playings of "Little Drummer Boy" or "Hark The Herald Angels Sing," Duquesnel has taken the traditional into the present with jazziness and swing, yet she has managed to keep the familiar within the music, so as to bring the song to a newer and more interesting level. Disc Two: Is where Peggy lets loose with her beautiful vocal style. Track four is the beautiful "Silent Night." "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" is done in a whimsical, jazzy style with Peggy’s vocals really matching up wonderfully. So many great songs on this two disc cd set for everyone to enjoy. I have found my new favorite for this holiday season.”
- Dana Arentzen, Smooth Jazz Magazine (Dec 01, 2014)

"A Charlie Brown Christmas," featuring the Vince Guaraldi Trio is one of the true standouts, yet few subsequent releases have mined the jazz territory explored on that album. Jazz singer-keyboardist and composer Peggy Duquesnel has just issued the wonderful "All I Ask for christmas," an ambitious two-disc album that captures the magic of that beloved vintage release as well as the melancholy of some of that era's golden recordings.
	- Robert Kinsler, The Desert Star (Dec 18, 2013)

“Peggy Duquesnel's Jazzy finger-snapping holiday release, ‘All I Ask for Christmas,' features Grammy nominated Rick Braun. My favorite cuts on the "All I Ask For Christmas" project include (on the instrumental) "Mary Did You Know" because I love how her fingers glide over the keys like an angel dancing for Christ; "What Child Is This," a finger popping selection; "Silent Night" because the way her fingers work on the piano; "O Christmas Tree" because of how she transitions from a slow version into a Jazz/Funk flavored number, and on her vocal disk I like her vocals on "Mary Did You Know" and the title track "All I Ask For Christmas," which features Bill Cantos' vocal assist, for its pure Jazz feel - you will also find Peggy scatting expertly.”
-	Eunice Mosely, The Pulse of Entertainment (Dec 20, 2013)

“Peggy Duquesnel creates a Christmas Classic! Duquesnel has a relaxed, easy style, both vocally and instrumentally, creating a distinctive musical voice.”
	- Sander Roscoe Wolff, Long Beach Post (Dec 09, 2013)

“Sometimes you should not wait until Christmas to give gifts to yourself or others. "All I Ask for Christmas" is an ideal present for the quick deciders.”
-	Hans-Bernd Hulsmann, Smooth Jazz Daily (Nov 13, 2013)

“Throughout, Peggy's backed by a star quartet - Brian Bromberg (bass) Joe La Barbera (drums), Jay Leach (guitar) and Brian Kilgore (percussion) and between them they offer versions of tunes like 'Little Drummer Boy', 'Silent Night' and 'O Christmas Tree' in a style that mixes the classic Christmas sounds of the 50s with the flavour of contemporary acoustic jazz.”
- Bill B, Soul and Jazz and Funk (Nov 11, 2013)

“Peggy transforms many of our beloved Christmas carols into seriously bopping and strolling jazz numbers sprinkled with a healthy amount of country influence.”
“Each track has its own appealing twist – like “What Child Is This?” resembling “Take Five.”
- Ronald Jackson, Smooth Jazz Ride (Oct 28, 2013)

“An elegant and sophisticated riff on Christmas favorites and inspired originals! Brent Black / www.criticaljazz.com”
