Ok not so much jazz as it is...not jazz...and IS surf music. Its good stuff. It'll make you get up and dance for christmas, the perfect cure for those morose carollers.

And it's not jazz, but Bruce Cockburn's "Christmas" is good any time of year.

| | Notes we play > Gear we play them on | | Join Date: Sep 2000 Location: Wisconsin | | | The Classical Jazz Quartet performs the Nutcracker Suite on one of their albums. I think they might have some other Christmas music, but don't quote me on that. The lineup consists of: Ron Carter, Kenny Barron, Stefon Harris, and Lewis Nash. |

Other Acoustic Christmas Jazz-
Blue Note & Verve used to have compilation discs... Jingle Jazz is another compilation album with acoustic Jazz stars.
Electric Jazz?
I have always liked the 1st (& maybe even the 2nd) GRP Jazz Christmas albums. Corea's Electrik Band doin' "God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen" is happenin', IMO.
Last year I picked up the Yellowjackets' Christmas album...Xmas tunes done in the 'Jackets' style. Bruce- Give it a rest, Alistair!
