Comment:

Make it a jazzy Noel as these smooth-but-swingin’ sounds bounce off the branches of your freshly trimmed tree and mix your Christmas cocktail with sweet sax licks and killer keyboard riffs. Hammond organ hotshot Jimmy McGriff puts some supper-club grooves behind the St. Nick scandal-mongering “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus.” Tasty tenor man Dexter Gordon sends such a warm breeze wafting through his sax on “The Christmas Song” that you might need to keep him away from the ice bucket. And the Ramsey Lewis Trio takes the blues for a ride uptown on their sleek, sexy version of Charles Brown’s “Merry Christmas Baby.”
