trans siberian orchestra's 3 christmas cd's - excellent and even better in concert (have attended their christmas tour stop in portland every year) yellowjackets - peace round
fourplay - snowbound

The Ramsey Lewis Trio, Sounds of Christmas on Chess

I second the Diana Krall Christmas CD recommendation.

Diana Krall has an outstanding Christmas disc. She "jazzes up" some of the ole' Christmas favorites. This is a must for the holiday season.

Windham Hill "Guitars (and other stringed things)". A Windham Hill Christmas Collection.
Windham Hill Artists D115251 circa 1996

Second the Tony Bennett and Count Basie Band:
"A Swingin' Christmas" excellent.

Boney James: "Boney's Funky Christmas" is very good also.

Cyrus Chestnut & Friends " A Charlie Brown Christmas ". I second the James Taylor Christmas CD...Excellent stuff.
Happy Holidays.
Enjoy.

Not exactly jazz, but close is James Taylor's Christmas CD. The audio quality is among the best I know to boot.

I know that Wynton came out with some Xmas tunes w/Mumbles a while back (early 90s)...might have been "Crescent City Christmas." I taped it off FM back in the day but never knew what the release was, but the tunes walk the fine line between traditional and new, with some of Wynton's harmonic "variations" that he does so well.

George Shearing, Mel Torme, Dave
Brubeck, and Oscar Peterson all have jazzy Christmas CD's on the Telarc label. If you like big band jazz, there was an album of Mobil Fidelity a number of years ago, but I can't remeber title.

new Tony Bennett with Basie Band available at Bloomingdales is great.

Wynton Marsalis "Crescent City Christmas"

Regards,

Ella Fitzgerald's "Swingin' Christmas." A staple at my house this time of year.

Ho ho ho, Merry Christmas!

BTW: The Verve Presents: Very Best of Christmas Jazz looks very interesting. The list of performers is impressive.
