Can you reccomend and good christmas jazz cds?


I am looking for christmas jazz cds. I am really into jazz now that I turned 30. Its amazing how your ears mature with age :-)

Kenny G: The Greatest Holiday Classics, Wishes A Holiday Album, Faith - A Holiday Album, Miracles: A Holiday Album,

Boney James: Christmas Present, Boney's Funky Christmas

Jimmy Smith: Christmas '64, Christmas Cookin'

Dave Koz: A Smooth Jazz Christmas

Great suggestions! I would add a few less known but good quality CDs to the list if I may. www.ChristmasCDs.net has a smooth jazz and traditional jazz CD featuring Sax and great Christmas Songs. Christmas Hymns and Holiday Christmas Favorites! You-all have a great Christmas 07!! Report It

I couldn't give you a chrismas themed CD but an excellent CD withthe same feel to christmas would have to be 'Brian Culbertson - Come On Up'

Kenny G.

''Places & Spaces'' album by Donald Byrd.

Any album by Roy Ayers.

My wife has one. It has a green cover.. and it's stuff done by David Foster. .The guy is an amazing producer/arranger/piano player. Not sure where you can find it, but some great artists on that cd.. I highly recommend it..

Christmas Cookin' by Jimmy Smith.

Also Vince Guaraldi's "A Charlie Brown Christmas". You may be familiar with that one.

Every time I see Kenny G's name on here I die a little bit.

How about these....Louis Armstrong....What A Wonderful Christmas
Stan Kenton A Merry Christmas
Al Hirt The Sound Of Christmas
Wynton Marsalis Crescent City Christmas
Jingle Bell Jazz Various artists including Duke Ellington Miles Davis(yaaas Miles does a Christmas song!) McCoy Tyner,McCoy does the most beautiful piano solo of I'll Be Home for Christmas.Carmen McRae does a great vocal version of The Christmas Song. and other great artists on this compilation CD on Columbia.
Lou Rawls Christmas Will Be Christmas
Glenn Miller Orchestra Christmas in The Mood vol 1 and 2
Those are a few . You can check iTunes for more. I like the Jingle Bell Jazz the best. ....Merry Christmas.

Christmas Songs With the Ray Brown Trio is a great one. What a Wonderful Christmas is also good.

Boney James Christmas!

Yellowjackets; "Peace Round" for a nice contemporary modern flair to the old favorites.

'Jingle Bell Jazz' and 'God Rest Ye Merry, Jazzmen' are my favorites.

"Happy Anniversary Charlie Brown" has great christmas songs and some great jazz tunes too.
