This album contains eleven interpretations of classic holiday songs in a lovely jazz style, such as “Angels We Have Heard on High” and “Deck the Halls.” Rather than vocals, though, the main melodies are mostly played by brass or woodwind instruments like saxophone. These lead instruments add a certain warmth to the songs, and trilling pianos and calm swaying drums set the scene nicely for those performances. These elements all interact beautifully to create a calming landscape of holiday cheer.
These tunes were actually originally crafted for some of the Christmas movies on Lifetime and Hallmark, and you can hear the welcoming magic of those movies in these songs, making it easy to picture the snowy Christmas tree farms or small town celebrations common in those comforting movies. This album easily gets you in the mood for the tender happiness of the holidays, and there is even a version of “Auld Lang Syne” to keep the joy going after Christmas and into the New Year.
