Can you recommend some good Christmas Jazz? I was listening to "A Charlie Brown Christmas," the other day and realized I don't have any Christmas Jazz. I'm thinking about classic jazz stylists (the real deal not elevator easy listening stuff). Any hard bop? Thanks

George Shearing, Mel Torme, Dave Brubeck, and Oscar Peterson all have jazzy Christmas CD's on the Telarc label. If you like big band jazz, there was an album of Mobil Fidelity a number of years ago, but I can't remeber title.
I know that Wynton came out with some Xmas tunes w/Mumbles a while back (early 90s)...might have been "Crescent City Christmas." I taped it off FM back in the day but never knew what the release was, but the tunes walk the fine line between traditional and new, with some of Wynton's harmonic "variations" that he does so well.
trans siberian orchestra's 3 christmas cd's - excellent and even better in concert (have attended their christmas tour stop in portland every year) yellowjackets - peace round fourplay - snowbound
Doug Robinson's "Jazz for a winter's eve" the fidelity and musicianship of this recording is so good you will want to hear it even in july! http://dougrobinson.com/winterseve.shtml
