Margaret Slovak's 5th CD is a duo album of 11 enchanting instrumental jazz interpretations of classic and non-traditional Christmas songs, performed by Margaret on nylon-string guitar and Chris Maresh on acoustic bass.

Starlight. Solitude. Stillness. A wide-open winter sky. This imagery defines A Star’s Light Does Fall – a jazz album that both embraces the magical essence of the Christmas season and re-imagines the entire genre of holiday music. Guitarist Margaret Slovak and bassist Chris Maresh, both from Austin, go deep on this recording. Their musical mission is anchored in space, intimacy, reflection. Margaret and Chris interpret classic carols such as “O Come, O Come, Emmanuel” and “Away In a Manger.” But there’s room for Wayne Shorter and Leonard Cohen on the album, too. Think of a holiday album in the spirit of Pat Metheny and Charlie Haden’s Beyond the Missouri Sky, a sublime mix of deep feeling and musical integrity.
