Comment:

When the great men and women of jazz sink their teeth into the time-honored tunes that make up the Christmas songbook, the results are sometimes surprising, but always swinging and satisfying. So if you’re aiming to jazz up your holidays, you’re in the right place, whether that means swaying along as songbirds like Nancy Wilson and Diana Krall caress those seasonal standards with their peerless pipes, or standing back in slack-jawed awe while such bebop icons as Oscar Peterson and Charlie Parker let their fingers do the talking, twisting familiar Christmas tunes into fascinating new shapes. Sometimes smooth and mellow as a hot toddy on a December night, sometimes jumping and jamming with the bright glow of a thousand Christmas lights, the seasonal soundtrack we’ve set up for you can keep the holiday spirit on tap throughout every page on the calendar.
