   While the first Festival of Light compilation focused on putting an 
   eclectic and young spin on music for Hanukkah, this follow-up is slightly 
   more mellow (but no less diverse). Danny Heines's "Singing Flames" gives 
   his mesmerizing guitar work a hint of Middle Eastern rhythms; Dave Koz's 
   "Memories of a Winter's Night" features the musician's smooth saxophone 
   work; and the Klezmatics--joined by Israeli vocalist Chava Alberstein--
   perform the soulful klezmer number "I'm Going to Take Off My Shoes." 
   There's a ton of great, genre-blurring music here, but the real gems come 
   from jazz trumpeter Frank London. His big band composition "Oh Hanukkah 
   Groove" is spiritual yet swinging, while his atmospheric "Song of 
   Praise"--featuring London, keyboardist Wayne Horvitz, and oud player 
   Michael Kashou--is simply mesmerizing. - Jason Verlinde
