Christmas and all that Jazz


The Dude

Recommended Posts

Recently digging some Christmas Jazz tunes, I don't know why, but lets just say I have a fever for it.  Don't get me wrong, I like my Christmas in Hollis Queens by RUN DMC and Players Ball by Outkast, but I'm really digging that Jaz.  Currently listening to Christmas Jazz (2021) by Cafe Music BGM.  What are some of your favorites?

I've got a Christmas playlist that has been years in the making.  Most of it is comprised of 1, 2 or 3 songs (at most) from a single album.  Very few Christmas albums are listenable all the way through IMHO.  Here are a few jazzy Christmas albums that are:

Really digging Oscar Peterson and David Ian. David Ian has several other Christmas albums that are worth the listen. As the Oscar Peterson album ended, Spotify continued to play more jazz from him that was well worth the listen.

Nice selection. I'm Jewish so I wouldn't call myself in anyway a connoisseur of Christmas music, but I do quite like a lot of it -especially the  jazz. I have had various a copies of the Vince Guaraldi Trio Charlie Brown Christmas over the years. I have always enjoyed it and play it annually for my own enjoyment as well as when we have Christian friends over during the Christmas season.

Oscar Peterson's Christmas album was recorded in 1995 when he was still recovering from a stroke on his left side.  There are some Youtube videos of him with Dick Cavett in 1979 that are really cool.  Oscar Peterson Plays the Cole Porter Songbook from 1959 is a good intro to his stuff.
