Texas jazz vocalist Carolyn Lee Jones offers her Christmas gift to all of us with a collection of songs both familiar and fresh – and the sparkle of her style makes even the oldies but goodies sound new. She is accompanied by a fine group of instrumentalists – jazz to strings, brass to sax, piano to celeste – who provide a variation in sound that keeps the collection secure.
The excellent choice of songs are The Christmas Song, Christmas Time Is Here, Warm In December, Jingles The Christmas Cat, You’d Be So Nice to Come Home, I’d Like You For Christmas, Merry Christmas Baby, Red Christmas, Santa Baby, White Christmas, Toyland, and Count Your Blessings (Instead Of Sheep)
Yes, we all know the songs, but the manner in which Carolyn delivers them is solidly unique – a very rewarding collection.
